public class UICommand extends UIComponentBase implements ActionSource2
UICommand is a UIComponent
that represents
a user interface component which, when activated by the user, triggers
an application specific "command" or "action". Such a component is
typically rendered as a push button, a menu item, or a hyperlink.
When the decode()
method of this UICommand
, or
its corresponding Renderer
, detects that this control has been
activated, it will queue an ActionEvent
.
Later on, the broadcast()
method will ensure that this
event is broadcast to all interested listeners.
Listeners will be invoked in the following order:
ActionListener
s, in the order in which they were registered.
MethodExpression
(which will cover
the "actionListener" that was set as a MethodBinding
).
ActionListener
, retrieved from the
Application
- and therefore, any attached "action"
MethodExpression
.
By default, the rendererType
property must be set to
"javax.faces.Button
". This value can be changed by calling the
setRendererType()
method.

the appropriate Renderer
for this component instance.

.If the implementing class also implements ActionSource2
, the implementation of this method must call
through to ActionSource2.getActionExpression()
and examine
the result. If the result came from a previous call to ActionSource.setAction(javax.faces.el.MethodBinding)
, extract the MethodBinding
from it and
return it. Otherwise, wrap the returned MethodExpression
in a MethodBinding
implementation, and return it.
If the implementing class does not implement
ActionSource2
, return the MethodBinding
pointing at the application action to be invoked,
if this UIComponent
is activated by the user, during the
Apply Request Values or Invoke Application
phase of the request processing lifecycle, depending on the value

If the implementing class does not implement
