Summary

Tag name: <tr:switcher>
UIComponent class: org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.component.UIXSwitcher
Component type: org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.Switcher
The switcher component dynamically decides which facet component should be rendered. It has two properties. The switcher will render the facet matching "facetName"; however, if no such facet exists (or "facetName" is null), and "defaultFacet" has been set, then that facet will be used instead. (It's possible to achieve this same functionality by using a panelGroup and binding the "rendered" property of each child, but this component can be simpler. Ordinary children of the switcher component are not rendered at all.)

Code Example(s)

<tr:switcher facetName="#{userData.person}" defaultFacet="default">
  <f:facet name="default">
    <tr:outputText value="You have not picked anyone I know"/>
  </f:facet >
  <f:facet name="Roger">
    <tr:outputText value="You have picked Roger"/>
  </f:facet >
  <f:facet name="Peter">
    <tr:outputText value="You have picked Peter"/>
  </f:facet >
</tr:switcher>

Events

Type	Phases	Description
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.AttributeChangeEvent	Invoke Application, Apply Request Values	Event delivered to describe an attribute change. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change event might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing.

Attributes

Name	Type	Supports EL?	Description
attributeChangeListener	javax.el.MethodExpression	Only EL	a method reference to an attribute change listener. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing.
binding	org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.component.UIXSwitcher	Only EL	an EL reference that will store the component instance on a bean. This can be used to give programmatic access to a component from a backing bean, or to move creation of the component to a backing bean.
defaultFacet	String	Yes	the name of the facet to render and process if "facetName" is null or otherwise does not refer to an existing facet.
facetName	String	Yes	the name of the facet to render and process.
id	String	No	the identifier for the component. The identifier must follow a subset of the syntax allowed in HTML: Must not be a zero-length String. First character must be an ASCII letter (A-Za-z) or an underscore ('_'). Subsequent characters must be an ASCII letter or digit (A-Za-z0-9), an underscore ('_'), or a dash ('-').
rendered	boolean	Yes	Default Value: true whether the component is rendered. When set to false, no output will be delivered for this component (the component will not in any way be rendered, and cannot be made visible on the client). If you want to change a component's rendered attribute from false to true using PPR, set the partialTrigger attribute of its parent component so the parent refreshes and in turn will render this component.
