All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.faces.component.StateHolder, FlattenedComponent

public class UIXSwitcher
extends UIXComponentBase
implements FlattenedComponent

The switcher component dynamically decides which facet component should be rendered. It has two properties. The switcher will render the facet matching "facetName"; however, if no such facet exists (or "facetName" is null), and "defaultFacet" has been set, then that facet will be used instead. (It's possible to achieve this same functionality by using a panelGroup and binding the "rendered" property of each child, but this component can be simpler. Ordinary children of the switcher component are not rendered at all.)

Events:

Type	Phases	Description
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.AttributeChangeEvent	Invoke Application Apply Request Values	Event delivered to describe an attribute change. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing.
