Method Detail

renderFormComponent

protected void renderFormComponent(IMarkupWriter writer,
                                   IRequestCycle cycle)

Description copied from class: AbstractFormComponent

Invoked from AbstractFormComponent.renderComponent(IMarkupWriter, IRequestCycle) to render the component.

Specified by:

renderFormComponent in class AbstractFormComponent

See Also:

org.apache.tapestry.form.validator.AbstractRequirableField#renderRequirableFormComponent(org.apache.tapestry.IMarkupWriter, org.apache.tapestry.IRequestCycle)

rewindFormComponent

protected void rewindFormComponent(IMarkupWriter writer,
                                   IRequestCycle cycle)

In traditional HTML, many checkboxes would have the same name but different values. Under Tapestry, it makes more sense to have different names and a fixed value. For a checkbox, we only care about whether the name appears as a request parameter.

Specified by:

rewindFormComponent in class AbstractFormComponent

getValue

public abstract boolean getValue()

setValue

public abstract void setValue(boolean selected)

getValidatableFieldSupport

public abstract ValidatableFieldSupport getValidatableFieldSupport()

Injected.

isRequired

public boolean isRequired()

Description copied from class: AbstractFormComponent

Returns false. Subclasses that might be required must override this method. Typically, this involves checking against the component's validators.

Specified by:

isRequired in interface IFormComponent

Overrides:

isRequired in class AbstractFormComponent

AbstractFormComponent.isRequired()
