Class DelegatingPhaseListenerMulticaster

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingPhaseListenerMulticaster
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, EventListener, javax.faces.event.PhaseListener

public class DelegatingPhaseListenerMulticaster
extends Object
implements javax.faces.event.PhaseListener

JSF PhaseListener implementation that delegates to one or more Spring-managed PhaseListener beans coming from the Spring root WebApplicationContext.

Configure this listener multicaster in your faces-config.xml file as follows:

 <application>
   ...
   <phase-listener>
     org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingPhaseListenerMulticaster
   </phase-listener>
   ...
 </application>
The multicaster will delegate all beforePhase and afterPhase events to all target PhaseListener beans. By default, those will simply be obtained by type: All beans in the Spring root WebApplicationContext that implement the PhaseListener interface will be fetched and invoked.

Note: This multicaster's getPhaseId() method will always return ANY_PHASE. The phase id exposed by the target listener beans will be ignored; all events will be propagated to all listeners.

This multicaster may be subclassed to change the strategy used to obtain the listener beans, or to change the strategy used to access the ApplicationContext (normally obtained via FacesContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(FacesContext)).

public DelegatingPhaseListenerMulticaster()
Method Detail

getPhaseId

public javax.faces.event.PhaseId getPhaseId()
Specified by:
getPhaseId in interface javax.faces.event.PhaseListener

beforePhase

public void beforePhase(javax.faces.event.PhaseEvent event)
Specified by:
beforePhase in interface javax.faces.event.PhaseListener

afterPhase

public void afterPhase(javax.faces.event.PhaseEvent event)
Specified by:
afterPhase in interface javax.faces.event.PhaseListener

getDelegates

protected Collection<javax.faces.event.PhaseListener> getDelegates(javax.faces.context.FacesContext facesContext)
Obtain the delegate PhaseListener beans from the Spring root WebApplicationContext.

Parameters:
facesContext - the current JSF context
Returns:
a Collection of PhaseListener objects
See Also:
getBeanFactory(javax.faces.context.FacesContext), ListableBeanFactory.getBeansOfType(Class)

getBeanFactory

protected ListableBeanFactory getBeanFactory(javax.faces.context.FacesContext facesContext)
Retrieve the Spring BeanFactory to delegate bean name resolution to.

The default implementation delegates to getWebApplicationContext. Can be overridden to provide an arbitrary ListableBeanFactory reference to resolve against; usually, this will be a full Spring ApplicationContext.

Parameters:
facesContext - the current JSF context
Returns:
the Spring ListableBeanFactory (never null)
See Also:
getWebApplicationContext(javax.faces.context.FacesContext)

getWebApplicationContext

protected WebApplicationContext getWebApplicationContext(javax.faces.context.FacesContext facesContext)
Retrieve the web application context to delegate bean name resolution to.

The default implementation delegates to FacesContextUtils.

Parameters:
facesContext - the current JSF context
Returns:
the Spring web application context (never null)

FacesContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(javax.faces.context.FacesContext)
