Class DelegatingPhaseListenerMulticaster

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingPhaseListenerMulticaster

public class DelegatingPhaseListenerMulticaster
extends java.lang.Object

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)).

Since:

1.2.7

public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent event)

getDelegates

protected java.util.Collection<PhaseListener> getDelegates(FacesContext facesContext)

Obtain the delegate PhaseListener beans from the Spring root WebApplicationContext.

Parameters:

facesContext - the current JSF context

Returns:

a Collection of PhaseListener objects

getBeanFactory(FacesContext), ListableBeanFactory.getBeansOfType(Class)

getBeanFactory

protected ListableBeanFactory getBeanFactory(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(FacesContext)

getWebApplicationContext

protected WebApplicationContext getWebApplicationContext(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(FacesContext)
