    • Method Detail

      • getDesktop

        public Desktop getDesktop()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Returns the desktop of this component, or null if this component doesn't belong to any desktop.

        When a component is created in an event listener, it is assigned to the current desktop automatically. If a component is created not in any event listener, it doesn't belong to any desktop and this method returns null. Once a component is attached to a desktop (by use of Component.setPage(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Page) or Component.setParent(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component)), it belongs to the desktop.

        Notice: there is no way to detach a component from a desktop, once it is attached as described above. In other words, you cannot move a component (or page) from one desktop to another.

        In summary, there are only two ways to handle components.

        1. Handle them all in event listeners and don't access any components from other desktops. This is simplest and clearest.
        2. Creates components in another thread (other than event listener) and attach them to a page (and then desktop) upon an event is received.

      • setPageBefore

        public void setPageBefore​(Page page,
                          Component refRoot)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets what page this component belongs to, and insert this component right before the reference component.

        For child components, the page they belong is maintained automatically. You need to invoke this method only for root components.

        It is similar to Component.setPage(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Page), except this component will be placed before the reference component. If the reference component is null, this component is placed at the end of all root components.

        Specified by:
        setPageBefore in interface Component
        refRoot - another root component used as a reference which this component will be placed before. If null, this component will be placed at the end of all root components (no matter whether it already belongs to the same page).

        Component.setPage(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Page)

      • addMoved

        protected void addMoved​(Component oldparent,
                        Page oldpg,
                        Page newpg)
        Called when this component is moved from the specified parent and/or page to the new page.

        Default: it notifies UiEngine to update the component at the client (usually remove-and-add).

        It is designed to let derived classes overriding this method to disable this update. However, you rarely need to override it. One possible but rare case: the component's visual part at the client updates the visual representation at the client and then notify the component at the server to update its children accordingly. In this case, it is redundant if we ask UI Engine to send the updates to client.

        Parameters:
        oldparent - the parent before moved. The new parent can be found by calling getParent().
        oldpg - the parent before moved.
        newpg - the new page. getPage() might return the old page.

      • getId

        public java.lang.String getId()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Returns the ID.

        Default: "" (an empty string; it means no ID at all).

        If a component belongs to an ID space (see IdSpace), the ID must also be unique in the ID space it belongs. any its parent and ancestor implements IdSpace. If it is a root component (i.e., without any parent), its ID must be unique among root components of the same page.

        A page itself is also an ID space, so you could retrieve components in a page by use of IdSpace.getFellow(java.lang.String), unless the component is a descendant of another component that implements IdSpace. In this case, you have to retrieve the parent first (by use of IdSpace.getFellow(java.lang.String) and then use Component.getFellow(java.lang.String) against the owner of the ID space.

        In zscript and EL, a component with explicit ID can be accessed directly by the ID.

      • setId

        public void setId​(java.lang.String id)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets the ID. The scope of uniqueness depends on whether this component is a root component. Refer to Component.getId() for more details.

        Default: "" (an empty string; it means no ID at all).

        Specified by:
        setId in interface Component
        Parameters:
        id - the identifier. You could specify null or an empty string to remove ID.

      • getUuid

        public java.lang.String getUuid()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Returns UUID (universal unique ID) which is unique in the whole session. The UUID is generated automatically and immutable, unless RawId is also implemented.

        It is mainly used for communication between client and server and you rarely need to access it.

        If RawId is implemented as part of a component, UUID is the same as Component.getId() if Component.setId(java.lang.String) is ever called. It is designed to migrate HTML pages to ZK, such that the element ID could remain the same.

      • setWidgetOverride

        public java.lang.String setWidgetOverride​(java.lang.String name,
                                          java.lang.String script)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets or removes a method or a property of the peer widget (at the client). If there is a method or a property associated with the same name, the previous one will be replaced and returned.

        For example, 

        comp.setWidgetOverride("setValue", "function (value) {}"); //override a method
comp.setWidgetOverride("myfield", "new Date()"); //override a property

        If there is no previous method or property, the method/property will be assigned directly.

        Notice that, unlike Component.setWidgetListener(java.lang.String, java.lang.String), if the method has been sent to the client for update, it cannot be removed by calling this method with a null value. In other words, invoking this method with a null value only removes the method overrides if it has not YET been to sent to the client.

        The previous method/property can be accessed by this.$xxx. For example 

        function (value, fromServer) {
  this.$setValue(value, fromServer);
  if (this.desktop) {
    this._cnt = !this._cnt;
    this.setStyle('background:'+(this._cnt ? 'red':'green'));
  }
}

        Notice that, since it is not extending, so this.$super references the superclass's method, rather than the old method.

        Specified by:
        setWidgetOverride in interface Component
        Parameters:
        name - the property name to override, such as setValue and miles.
        script - the method definition, such as function (arg) {...}, or a value, such as 123 and new Date(). If not null, this method will be added to the peer widget. If there was a method with the same name, it will be renamed to $name so can you call it back. 
        <label w:setValue="function (value) {
  this.$setValue(value); //old method
}"/>
        If null, the previous method, if any, will be restored.
        Returns:
        the previous script if any

      • getParent

        public Component getParent()
        Description copied from interface: Component

      • replace

        protected void replace​(Component comp,
                       boolean bFellow,
                       boolean bListener,
                       boolean bChildren)
        Replace the specified component with this component in the component tree. In other words, the parent of the given component will become the parent of this components, so are siblings and children. Furthermore, comp will be detached at the end.

        Notice that the replacement won't change anything at the client. It is the caller'job to maintain the consistency between the server and the client.

        This method is rarely used.

        Parameters:
        comp - the component. In this implementation it supports only derived classes of AbstractComponent.
        bFellow - whether to add this component to the map of fellows if it is assigned with an ID. If false, the component (comp) cannot be retrieved back even with an ID (note: ID is always preserved).
        bListener - whether to retain the event listeners and handlers. If true, the event listeners and handlers, if any, will be registered to this stub component. In other words, the event will be processed. However, it is a stub component, rather than the original one. I means the event is the most generic format: an instance of Event (rather than MouseEvent or others).
        bChildren - whether to have the children of the given component.
        If false, this component won't have any children, and all UUID of children reference back to this component.
        If true, the given component's children will belong to this component.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this component has a parent, sibling or child.

      • isChildable

        protected boolean isChildable()
        Returns whether this component can have a child.

        Default: return true (means it can have children).

      • getChildren

        public <T extends Component> java.util.List<T> getChildren()
        Returns a live list of children. By live we mean the developer could add or remove a child by manipulating the returned list directly.

        Default: instantiates and returns an instance of AbstractComponent.Children.

        Specified by:

      • setVisible

        public boolean setVisible​(boolean visible)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets whether this component is visible. A component is visible by default. Both visible and invisible components are rendered in a browser's DOM. But an invisible component's DOM elements with CSS display:none. Since a DOM element will inherit its parent's CSS rules, a component is visible only if all of its parents are also visible.
        To remove a component's DOM elements, use Component.detach().
        Specified by:
        setVisible in interface Component
        Returns:
        the previous visibility

      • setVisibleDirectly

        protected void setVisibleDirectly​(boolean visible)
        Changes the visibility directly without sending any update to the client. It is the caller's responsibility to maintain the consistency. It is rarely called. In most cases, you shall use setVisible(boolean) instead.

        5.0.4

      • getStubonly

        public java.lang.String getStubonly()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Returns whether this component is stub-only. By stub-only, we mean we don't need to maintain the states of the component at the server side.

        There are three possible values: "true", "false", and "inherit", and "ignore-native".

        Notice that the native components will be stub-ized, no matter this property is set. Though rarely required, you could control whether to stub-ize the native components with a component attribute called Attributes.STUB_NATIVE.

        Specified by:
        getStubonly in interface Component

      • setStubonly

        public void setStubonly​(java.lang.String stubonly)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets whether this component is stub-only. By stub-only, we mean we don't need to maintain the states of the component at the server side.

        Default: "inherit" (i.e., the same as the parent's stub-only, and "false" is assumed if none of parents is specified with stub-only).

        If a component is set to stub-only, the application running at the server shall not access it anymore after rendered to the client. The ZK loader will try to minimize the memory footprint by merging stub-only components and replacing with light-weight components.

        However, the event listeners and handlers are preserved, so they will be invoked if the corresponding event is received. Since the original component is gone, the event is the more generic format: an instance of Event (rather than MouseEvent or others).

        If a component is stub-only, the application usually access it only at the client since all widgets are preserved at the client (so are events).

        This method is available only for ZK EE.

        Specified by:
        setStubonly in interface Component
        Parameters:
        stubonly - whether it is stub-only. The allowed values include "true", "false" and "inherit".

      • setStubonly

        public void setStubonly​(boolean stubonly)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Sets whether this component is stub-only. It is the same as setStubonly(stubonly ? "true": "false").

        setStubonly in interface Component

      • isInvalidated

        public boolean isInvalidated()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Returns if this component needs to be redrawn at the client.

        Application developers rarely need to call this method.

        Note:

        1. It always returns true if it doesn't belong to any page (since redraw is required if it is attached to a page later).
        2. It always returns true if the current execution is not an asynchronous update (so redrawn is always required).
        3. If its parent is invalidated, this component will be redrawn too, but this method returns false if Component.invalidate() was not called against this component.
        Specified by:
        isInvalidated in interface Component

      • invalidate

        public void invalidate()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Invalidates this component by setting the dirty flag such that it will be redraw the whole content of this component and its dependencies later. And, the widget associated with this component and all its descendant at the client will be deleted and recreated, too.

        If the application is totally controlled by the server side (i.e., you don't write client codes), you rarely need to access this method.

        It can be called only in the request-processing and event-processing phases. However, it is NOT allowed in the rendering phase.

        invalidate in interface Component

      • response

        protected void response​(AuResponse response)
        Causes a response to be sent to the client. It is the same as response(response.getOverrideKey(), response)

        If AuResponse.getDepends() is not null, the response depends on the existence of the component returned by AuResponse.getDepends(). In other words, the response is removed if the component is removed. If it is null, the response is component-independent and it is always sent to the client.

        Unlike smartUpdate(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object), responses are sent even if Component.invalidate() was called. Typical examples include setting the focus, selecting the text and so on.

        It can be called only in the request-processing and event-processing phases; excluding the redrawing phase.

      • response

        protected void response​(java.lang.String key,
                        AuResponse response)
        Causes a response to be sent to the client by overriding the key returned by AuResponse.getOverrideKey()).

        If AuResponse.getDepends() is not null, the response depends on the existence of the component returned by AuResponse.getDepends(). In other words, the response is removed if the component is removed. If it is null, the response is component-independent and it is always sent to the client.

        Unlike smartUpdate(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object), responses are sent even if Component.invalidate() was called. Typical examples include setting the focus, selecting the text and so on.

        It can be called only in the request-processing and event-processing phases; excluding the redrawing phase.

        Parameters:
        key - could be anything. The second invocation of this method in the same execution with the same key and the same depends (AuResponse.getDepends()) will override the previous one. However, if key is null, it won't override any other. All responses with key == null will be sent.
        Notice that if AuResponse.getDepends() is null, then be careful of the key you used since it is shared in the same execution (rather than a particular component).

        protected void response​(java.lang.String key,
                        AuResponse response,
                        int priority)
        Causes a response to be sent to the client by overriding the key returned by AuResponse.getOverrideKey()).

        If AuResponse.getDepends() is not null, the response depends on the existence of the component returned by AuResponse.getDepends(). In other words, the response is removed if the component is removed. If it is null, the response is component-independent and it is always sent to the client.

        Notice that if AuResponse.getDepends() is null, then be careful of the key you used since it is shared in the same execution (rather than a particular component).
        priority - The higher priority, the earlier the update is executed. The priority of response(AuResponse) and response(String, AuResponse) is assumed to be 0.

        If the priority is the same, the update is executed in the order of first-in-first out.

      • smartUpdate

        protected void smartUpdate​(java.lang.String attr,
                           java.lang.Object value)
        Smart-updates a property of the peer widget associated with the component, running at the client, with the given value.

        The second invocation with the same property will replace the previous call. In other words, the same property will be set only once in each execution. If you prefer to send both updates to the client, use smartUpdate(String, Object, boolean) instead.

        This method has no effect if invalidate() is ever invoked (in the same execution), since invalidate() assumes the whole content shall be redrawn and all smart updates to this components can be ignored,

        Once invalidate() is called, all invocations to smartUpdate(String, Object) will then be ignored, and redraw(java.io.Writer) will be invoked later.

        It can be called only in the request-processing and event-processing phases; excluding the redrawing phase.

        There are two ways to draw a component, one is to invoke Component.invalidate(), and the other is smartUpdate(String, Object). While Component.invalidate() causes the whole content to redraw, smartUpdate(String, Object) let component developer control which part to redraw.

        Parameters:
        value - the new value. If it is DeferredValue, the value will be retrieved (by calling DeferredValue.getValue()) in the rendering phase. It is useful if the value can not be determined now.

        For some old application servers (example, Websphere 5.1), Execution.encodeURL(java.lang.String) cannot be called in the event processing thread. So, the developers have to use DeferredValue or disable the use of the event processing thread (by use of disable-event-thread in zk.xml).

        If you want to generate the JavaScript code directly (i.e., the value is a valid JavaScript snippet), you can use JavaScriptValue. Notice that the JavaScript code will be evaluated before assigning it to the widget.

        If the value is a Date object, a special pattern will be generated (a.k.a., marshaling) to ensure it can be unmarshalled back correctly at the client. Notice that it is marshalled to a string based on TimeZones.getCurrent(), and then unmarshalled back at the client. In other words, if the client is in different time-zone, the value returned by getTime() might be different. However, the value will remain the same if the client marshalled the Date object back. In other words, it assumes the browser's time zone from enduser's perspective (not really browser's setting) shall be the same as TimeZones.getCurrent().

        If the value is a component, a special pattern will be generated to ensure it can be unmarshalled back correctly at the client.

        In addition, the value can be any kind of objects that the client accepts (marshaled by JSON) (see also JSONAware).

                           boolean append)
        Smart-updates a property of the peer widget with the given value that allows caller to decide whether to append or overwrite. In other words, smartUpdate(String, Object) is a shortcut of smartUpdate(attr, value, false).

        For example, if you invoke smartUpdate("attr", "value1") and smartUpdate("attr", "value2"), then only value2 will be sent to the client.

        However, if you invoke smartUpdate("attr", "value1", true) and smartUpdate("attr", "value2", true), then both value1 and value2 will be sent to the client. In other words, wgt.setAttr("value1") and wgt.setAttr("value2") will be invoked at the client accordingly.

        Parameters:
        append - whether to append the updates of properties with the same name. If false, only the last value of the same property will be sent to the client.

      • disableClientUpdate

        public boolean disableClientUpdate​(boolean disable)
        Description copied from interface: ComponentCtrl
        Sets whether to disable the update of the client widgets of this component and its descendants.

        By default, if a component is attached to a page, modifications that change the visual representation will be sent to the client to ensure the consistency.

        Though rarely needed, you can disable the synchronization of the visual representation, if you prefer to update the client in a batch or the modification is caused by the client.

        Notice:

        • Once disabled, it not only affects the synchronization of this component but also all its descendants.
        • The disable remains until the end of this execution (or the invocation of this method with false). In other words, it is enabled automatically in the next execution.
        • The updates, if any, before calling this method will still be sent to the client.
        • It does nothing, if there is no current execution.

        Also notice that, with Component.invalidate(), it is easy to synchronize the content of a component (and its descendants) to the client.

        Specified by:
        disableClientUpdate in interface ComponentCtrl
        Returns:
        whether it has been disabled before this invocation, i.e., the previous disable status

        public boolean addEventListener​(int priority,
                                java.lang.String evtnm,
                                EventListener<? extends Event> listener)
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Adds an event listener to specified event name for this component with the given priority.

        You could register listener to all components in the same page by use of Page.addEventListener(java.lang.String, org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.EventListener<? extends org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.Event>).

        Version Difference

        ZK 5.0 and earlier, the second registration is ignored if an event listener has been registered twice. However, since 6.0.0 and later, it won't be ignored. If a listener has been registered multiple times, it will be invoked multiple times.

        If you prefer to ignore the second registration, you could specify a library property called "org.zkoss.zk.ui.EventListener.duplicateIgnored" to true.

        Specified by:
        addEventListener in interface Component
        Parameters:
        priority - the priority of the event. The higher the priority is, the earlier it is invoked.
        Notice:
        • If the priority equals or is greater than 1000, the event listener will be invoked before the event handlers registered in a ZUML page (i.e., the onXxx attribute declared in ZUML). On the other hand, if the priority is lower than 1000, it is invoked after the ZUML's event handler.
        • The priority registered by Component.addEventListener(String, EventListener) is 0.
        • Applications shall not use the priority higher than 10,000 and lower than -10,000 since they are reserved for component development.
        evtnm - what event to listen (never null)
        Returns:
        whether the listener is added successfully

        Description copied from interface: Component
        Adds a forward condition to forward the event received by this component to another component.

        Default: no forward condition at all.

        Once the condition is added, a event called targetEvent is posted to the target component, when this component receives the orginalEvent event.

        Specified by:
        addForward in interface Component
        Parameters:
        orgEvent - the original event that was received by this component. If null, "onClick" is assumed.
        target - the target component to receive the event. If null, the space owner Component.getSpaceOwner() is assumed. If null and the space owner is the page, the root component is assumed.
        targetEvent - the target event that the target component will receive. If null, it is the same as the original event.
        Returns:
        whether it is added successfully. It returns false if the condition was always added before.

        Description copied from interface: Component
        Adds a forward condition to forward the event received by this component to another component, specified with a path.

        Note: the target component is retrieved from the path, each time the event is received. Thus, you can reference to a component that is created later.

        Specified by:

        targetEvent - the target event that the target component will receive. If null, it is the same as the original event.
        Returns:
        whether it is added successfully. It returns false if the condition was always added before.

      • applyProperties

        public void applyProperties()
        Description copied from interface: Component
        Initializes the properties (a.k.a. members) based on what are defined in the component definition.

        This method is invoked automatically if a component is created by evaluating a ZUML page, i.e., if it is specified as an element of a ZUML page.

        On the other hand, if it is created manually (by program), developer might choose to invoke this method or not, depending whether he wants to initializes the component with the properties defined in the ZUML page (PageDefinition) and the language definition (LanguageDefinition).

        Notice that, since 5.0.7, custom-attributes are applied automatically in the constructor of AbstractComponent, so they are always available no matter this method is called or not.

      • setDefinition

        public void setDefinition​(ComponentDefinition compdef)
        Description copied from interface: ComponentCtrl
        Sets the component definition.

        The component definition affects how a component behaves. Developers rarely need to call this method. If a wrong definition is assigned, the result is unpredictable (and hard to debug). It is mainly designed for developing tools.

        Specified by:
        setDefinition in interface ComponentCtrl

      • setDefinition

        public void setDefinition​(java.lang.String name)

        Parameters:
        name - the name of the component definition

      • getAnnotation

                                java.lang.String annotName)
        Description copied from interface: ComponentCtrl
        Returns the annotation associated with the definition of the specified property, or null if not available.

        If there are multiple annotation with the given name, this method will merge them before return. If you prefer to get all of them without merging, please use ComponentCtrl.getAnnotations(String, String) instead. For example, 

        <textbox value="@bind(abc, param1=foo1) @bind(xyz, param2=foo2)">

        This method will return a single annotation with three attributes: value=xyz, param1=foo1 and param2=foo2. On the other hand, ComponentCtrl.getAnnotations(String, String) will return a two-element collections.

        Notice that the property is not limited the 'real' property. For example, the following statement is correct though button doesn't have setFoo method. And, you can retrieve it by use of this method (getAnnotation("foo", "bind")) 

        <button foo="@bind(whatever=123)"/>

        Furthermore, you can declare it as custom-attribute. For example, the following is equivalent to the above. 

        <button>
  <custom-attribute foo="@bind(whatever=123}">
</button>
        Specified by:
        getAnnotation in interface ComponentCtrl
        Parameters:

        Parameters:
        propName - the property name. If null, the annotation is associated with the component (rather than a particular property).
        annotName - the annotation name (never null, nor empty).

      • updateByClient

        protected void updateByClient​(java.lang.String name,
                              java.lang.Object value)
        Called when the widget running at the client asks the server to update a value. The update is caused by an AU request named setAttr (by invoking zk.Widget's smartUpdate at client).

        By default, it does nothing but log a warning message, since it is not safe to allow the client to update a field arbitrary.

        However, if you'd like to allow the update for a particular component you could do one of the following

        1. For component developers: override this method to update the field directly. For example,
          protected void updateByClient(String name, Object value) {
        if ("disabled".equals(name))
                setDisabled(name, ((Boolean)value).booleanValue());
        else
                super.updateByClient(name, value);
        2. For application developers: set an attribute called org.zkoss.zk.ui.updateByClient to be true. Then, this method will use reflection to find out the setter to update the value. Nothing happens if the method is not found.

          3. Notice: this method will invoke disableClientUpdate(boolean) to disable any update to the client, when calling the setter.

          If you want to enable the client update for all instances of a given component (though not recommended for the security reason), you could refer to here.

          See also zk.Widget.smartUpdate().
