Class ExternalContextFactory

Contents
  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    FacesWrapper<ExternalContextFactory>

    public abstract class ExternalContextFactory
extends Object
implements FacesWrapper<ExternalContextFactory>

    ExternalContextFactory is a factory object that creates (if needed) and returns new ExternalContext instances, initialized for the processing of the specified request and response objects.

    There must be one ExternalContextFactory instance per web application that is utilizing JavaServer Faces. This instance can be acquired, in a portable manner, by calling:

       ExternalContextFactory factory = (ExternalContextFactory)
    FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.EXTERNAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);

      • ExternalContextFactory

    • Method Detail

      • getWrapped

        public ExternalContextFactory getWrapped()

        If this factory has been decorated, the implementation doing the decorating may override this method to provide access to the implementation being wrapped. A default implementation is provided that returns null.

        Specified by:
