Method Summary

void	appendTo(StringBuffer buffer) This default implementation is not intended to be executed -- just here for backward compatibility to avoid forcing old code to update to new api's (which was required when no default implementation was provided).
void	applyValues(AWRequestContext requestContext, AWComponent component) The receiver should take any form values (or query string parameters) that it owns from the AWRequestContext.request().
String	bareStringContent()
Object	clone()
void	continueVisit(AWVisitor object)
AWElement	determineInstance(String elementName, Map bindingsHashtable, String templateName, int lineNumber)
AWElement	determineInstance(String tagName, String translatedClassName, Map bindingsHashtable, String templateName, int lineNumber)
AWResponseGenerating	invokeAction(AWRequestContext requestContext, AWComponent component) The receiver should determine if it is the intended recipient of the current action (by checking the AWRequestContext.request() AWRequest.senderId()) and, if so, handle the action and return the result.
int	lineNumber()
void	renderResponse(AWRequestContext requestContext, AWComponent component) The receiver should render its content to the AWRequestContext.response()
void	setLineNumber(int line)
void	setTemplateName(String name)
void	startVisit(AWVisitor visitor)
String	templateName()
String	toString()
void	validate(AWValidationContext validationContext, AWComponent component) Checks for things like valid binding names and definitions.

Description copied from interface: AWCycleable

The receiver should take any form values (or query string parameters) that it owns from the AWRequestContext.request().

Specified by:

applyValues in interface AWCycleable

Parameters:

requestContext - the context for the current request.

component - the current parent component

invokeAction

public AWResponseGenerating invokeAction(AWRequestContext requestContext,
                                         AWComponent component)

Description copied from interface: AWCycleable

The receiver should determine if it is the intended recipient of the current action (by checking the AWRequestContext.request() AWRequest.senderId()) and, if so, handle the action and return the result.

Specified by:

invokeAction in interface AWCycleable

Parameters:

requestContext - the context for the current request.

component - the current parent component

Returns:

the response for the action

renderResponse

public void renderResponse(AWRequestContext requestContext,
                           AWComponent component)

Description copied from interface: AWCycleable

The receiver should render its content to the AWRequestContext.response()

Specified by:

renderResponse in interface AWCycleable

Parameters:

requestContext - the context for the current request.

component - the current parent component

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

appendTo

public void appendTo(StringBuffer buffer)

This default implementation is not intended to be executed -- just here for backward compatibility to avoid forcing old code to update to new api's (which was required when no default implementation was provided).

Specified by:

Parameters:

buffer -

validate

public void validate(AWValidationContext validationContext,
                     AWComponent component)

Checks for things like valid binding names and definitions. Logs all errors and warnings. This is the default, which is to do nothing.

Specified by:
