Example

Start Execution in JSF 2 Client Behaviors

For example, with JSF 2, you could do as follows.

<syntax lang="java"> public class MyCustomBehavior extends ClientBehaviorBase {

 @Override
 public String getScript(ClientBehaviorContext bc) {
   ExternalContext ec = bc.getFacesContext().getExternalContext();
   ServletContext svlctx = (ServletContext)ec.getContext();
   HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)ec.getRequest();
   HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletRersponse)ec.getResponse();

   Component comp = getComponent();
   Bridge bridge = Bridge.start(svlctx, request, response, comp.getDesktop());
   try {
     //...do whatever you want
     comp.appendChild(new Label("custom behavior triggered"));
     return bridge.getResult();
   } finally {
     bridge.close();
   }
 }
 private Component getComponent() {
   //locate the component that you want to handle
 }

} </syntax>
