Method Detail

### getSubmittedValue

    Object getSubmittedValue()

  Return the submittedValue value of this component. This method should only be used by the `encodeBegin()` and/or `encodeEnd()` methods of this component, or its corresponding `Renderer`. The action taken based on whether the value is `null`, empty, or non-`null` is determined based on the value of the `javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL`context-param.

### resetValue

    void resetValue()

  Convenience method to reset this component's value to the un-initialized state.

  Since:
    2.0

### setSubmittedValue

    void setSubmittedValue(Object submittedValue)

  Set the submittedValue value of this component. This method should only be used by the `decode()` and `validate()` method of this component, or its corresponding `Renderer`. The action taken based on whether the value is `null`, empty, or non-`null` is determined based on the value of the `javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL`context-param.

  Parameters:
    `submittedValue` - The new submitted value

### isLocalValueSet

    boolean isLocalValueSet()

  Return the "local value set" state for this component. Calls to `setValue()` automatically reset this property to `true`.

### setLocalValueSet

    void setLocalValueSet(boolean localValueSet)

  Sets the "local value set" state for this component.

### isValid

    boolean isValid()

  Return a flag indicating whether the local value of this component is valid (no conversion error has occurred).

### setValid

    void setValid(boolean valid)

  Set a flag indicating whether the local value of this component is valid (no conversion error has occurred).

  Parameters:
    `valid` - The new valid flag

### isRequired

    boolean isRequired()

  Return the "required field" state for this component.

### setRequired

    void setRequired(boolean required)

  Set the "required field" state for this component.

  Parameters:
    `required` - The new "required field" state

### isImmediate

    boolean isImmediate()

  Return the "immediate" state for this component.

### setImmediate

    void setImmediate(boolean immediate)

  Set the "immediate" state for this component. When set to true, the component's value will be converted and validated immediately in the Apply Request Values phase, and `ValueChangeEvent`s will be delivered in that phase as well. The default value for this property must be `false`.

  Parameters:
    `immediate` - The new "immediate" state

### getValidator

    MethodBinding getValidator()

  Deprecated. `getValidators()` should be used instead.

  If `setValidator(javax.faces.el.MethodBinding)` was not previously called for this instance, this method must return `null`. If it was called, this method must return the exact `MethodBinding` instance that was passed to `setValidator(javax.faces.el.MethodBinding)`.

  This method will be called during the Process Validations or Apply Request Values phases (depending on the value of the `immediate` property).

### setValidator

    void setValidator(MethodBinding validatorBinding)

  Deprecated. Use `addValidator(javax.faces.validator.Validator)` instead, obtaining the argument `Validator` by creating an instance of `MethodExpressionValidator`.

  Wrap the argument `validatorBinding` in an implementation of `Validator` and store it in the internal data structure that backs the `getValidators()` method, taking care to over-write any instance that was stored by a previous call to `setValidator`.

  The argument method will be called during the Process Validations or Apply Request Values phases (depending on the value of the `immediate` property).

  Any method referenced by such an expression must be public, with a return type of `void`, and accept parameters of type `FacesContext`, `UIComponent`, and `Object`.

  Parameters:
    `validatorBinding` - The new `MethodBinding` instance

### getValueChangeListener

    MethodBinding getValueChangeListener()

  Deprecated. Use `getValueChangeListeners()` instead.

  If `setValueChangeListener(javax.faces.el.MethodBinding)` was not previously called for this instance, this method must return `null`. If it was called, this method must return the exact `MethodBinding` instance that was passed to `setValueChangeListener(javax.faces.el.MethodBinding)`.

### setValueChangeListener

    void setValueChangeListener(MethodBinding valueChangeMethod)

  Deprecated. Use `addValueChangeListener(javax.faces.event.ValueChangeListener)` instead, obtaining the argument `ValueChangeListener` by creating an instance of `MethodExpressionValueChangeListener`.

  Wrap the argument `valueChangeMethod` in an implementation of `ValueChangeListener` and store it in the internal data structure that backs the `getValueChangeListeners()` method, taking care to over-write any instance that was stored by a previous call to `setValueChangeListener`.

  This argument method will be called during the Process Validations or Apply Request Values phases (depending on the value of the `immediate` property).

  Any method referenced by such an expression must be public, with a return type of `void`, and accept a parameter of type `ValueChangeEvent`.

  Parameters:
    `valueChangeMethod` - The new method binding instance

### addValidator

    void addValidator(Validator validator)

  Add a `Validator` instance to the set associated with this component.

  Parameters:
    `validator` - The `Validator` to add
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if `validator` is null

### getValidators

    Validator[] getValidators()

  Return the set of registered `Validator`s for this component instance. If there are no registered validators, a zero-length array is returned.

### removeValidator

    void removeValidator(Validator validator)

  Remove a `Validator` instance from the set associated with this component, if it was previously associated. Otherwise, do nothing.

  Parameters:
    `validator` - The `Validator` to remove

### addValueChangeListener

    void addValueChangeListener(ValueChangeListener listener)

  Add a new `ValueChangeListener` to the set of listeners interested in being notified when `ValueChangeEvent`s occur.

  Parameters:
    `listener` - The `ValueChangeListener` to be added
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if `listener` is `null`

### getValueChangeListeners

    ValueChangeListener[] getValueChangeListeners()

  Return the set of registered `ValueChangeListener`s for this component instance. If there are no registered listeners, a zero-length array is returned.

### removeValueChangeListener

    void removeValueChangeListener(ValueChangeListener listener)

  Remove an existing `ValueChangeListener` (if any) from the set of listeners interested in being notified when `ValueChangeEvent`s occur.

  Parameters:
    `listener` - The `ValueChangeListener` to be removed
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if `listener` is `null`
