public abstract class MarkupContainer

extends Component

A MarkupContainer holds a map of child components.

• Children - Children can be added by calling the add() method, and they can be looked up using a dotted path. For example, if a container called "a" held a nested container "b" which held a nested component "c", then a.get("b.c") would return the Component with id "c". The number of children in a MarkupContainer can be determined by calling size(), and the whole hierarchy of children held by a MarkupContainer can be traversed by calling visitChildren(), passing in an implementation of Component.IVisitor.
• Markup Rendering - A MarkupContainer also holds/references associated markup which is used to render the container. As the markup stream for a container is rendered, component references in the markup are resolved by using the container to look up Components in the container's component map by id. Each component referenced by the markup stream is given an opportunity to render itself using the markup stream.

  Components may alter their referring tag, replace the tag's body or insert markup after the tag. But components cannot remove tags from the markup stream. This is an important guarantee because graphic designers may be setting attributes on component tags that affect visual presentation.

  The type of markup held in a given container subclass can be determined by calling getMarkupType(). Markup is accessed via a MarkupStream object which allows a component to traverse ComponentTag and RawMarkup MarkupElements while rendering a response. Markup in the stream may be HTML or some other kind of markup, such as VXML, as determined by the specific container subclass.

  A markup stream may be directly associated with a container via setMarkupStream. However, a container which does not have a markup stream (its getMarkupStream() returns null) may inherit a markup stream from a container above it in the component hierarchy. The findMarkupStream() method will locate the first container at or above this container which has a markup stream.

  All Page containers set a markup stream before rendering by calling the method getAssociatedMarkupStream() to load the markup associated with the page. Since Page is at the top of the container hierarchy, it is guaranteed that findMarkupStream will always return a valid markup stream.

  Constructor Detail

  MarkupContainer

  public MarkupContainer(java.lang.String id)

  Component.Component(String)

  MarkupContainer

  Method Detail

  add

  public MarkupContainer add(Component child)

  Adds a child component to this container.

  Parameters:

  child - The child

  Returns:

  This

  Throws:

  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - Thrown if a child with the same id is replaced by the add operation.

  autoAdd

  public boolean autoAdd(Component component)

  This method allows a component to be added by an auto-resolver such as AutoComponentResolver or AutoLinkResolver. While the component is being added, the component's FLAG_AUTO boolean is set. The isAuto() method of Component returns true if a component or any of its parents has this bit set. When a component is added via autoAdd(), the logic in Page that normally (a) checks for modifications during the rendering process, and (b) versions components, is bypassed if Component.isAuto() returns true.

  The result of all this is that components added with autoAdd() are free from versioning and can add their own children without the usual exception that would normally be thrown when the component hierarchy is modified during rendering.

  Parameters:

  component - The component to add

  Returns:

  True, if component has been added

  contains

  public final boolean contains(Component component,
                                boolean recurse)

  Parameters:

  component - The component to check

  recurse - True if all descendents should be considered

  Returns:

  True if the component is contained in this container

  get

  public final Component get(java.lang.String path)

  Get a child component by looking it up with the given path.

  Overrides:

  get in class Component

  Parameters:

  path - Path to component

  Returns:

  The component at the path

  getMarkupType

  public java.lang.String getMarkupType()

  Get the type of associated markup for this component.

  Returns:

  The type of associated markup for this component (for example, "html", "wml" or "vxml"). The markup type for a component is independent of whether or not the component actually has an associated markup resource file (which is determined at runtime). If there is no markup type for a component, null may be returned, but this means that no markup can be loaded for the class.

  internalAdd

  public void internalAdd(Component child)

  Parameters:

  child - The child

  internalBeginRequest

  public void internalBeginRequest()

  THIS METHOD IS NOT PART OF THE WICKET PUBLIC API. DO NOT CALL OR OVERRIDE. Called when a request begins.

  Overrides:

  internalBeginRequest in class Component

  internalEndRequest

  public void internalEndRequest()

  THIS METHOD IS NOT PART OF THE WICKET PUBLIC API. DO NOT CALL OR OVERRIDE. Called when a request ends.

  Overrides:

  internalEndRequest in class Component

  markupStream - The markup stream

  openTag - The open tag for the body

  onRender

  protected void onRender()

  Renders this component.
