public abstract class LifecycleFactory extends java.lang.Object implements FacesWrapper<LifecycleFactory>
LifecycleFactory is
 a factory object that creates (if needed) and returns Lifecycle instances.  Implementations of Jakarta Server Faces must
 provide at least a default implementation of Lifecycle.
 Advanced implementations (or external third party libraries) MAY
 provide additional Lifecycle implementations (keyed by
 lifecycle identifiers) for performing different types of request
 processing on a per-request basis.
There must be one LifecycleFactory instance per web
 application that is utilizing Jakarta Server Faces.  This instance can be
 acquired, in a portable manner, by calling:
   LifecycleFactory factory = (LifecycleFactory)
    FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.LIFECYCLE_FACTORY);
 
 Usage: extend this class and push the implementation being wrapped to the
 constructor and use getWrapped() to access the instance being wrapped.
| Modifier and Type | Field and Description |

Deprecated. 
 
Use the other constructor taking the implementation being wrapped.

LifecycleFactory(LifecycleFactory wrapped)
If this factory has been decorated, the implementation doing the decorating should push the implementation being wrapped to this constructor.  |

Register a new  
Lifecycle instance, associated with
 the specified lifecycleId, to be supported by this
 LifecycleFactory. |

getLifecycle(java.lang.String lifecycleId)
Create (if needed) and return a  
Lifecycle instance
 for the specified lifecycle identifier. |

Return an  
Iterator over the set of lifecycle
 identifiers supported by this factory. |

getWrapped()
If this factory has been decorated, the implementation doing the decorating may override this method to provide access to the implementation being wrapped.  | 
public static final java.lang.String DEFAULT_LIFECYCLE
The lifecycle identifier for the default Lifecycle instance
 for this Jakarta Server Faces implementation.
@Deprecated public LifecycleFactory()
public LifecycleFactory(LifecycleFactory wrapped)
If this factory has been decorated,
 the implementation doing the decorating should push the implementation being wrapped to this constructor.
 The getWrapped() will then return the implementation being wrapped.

                                  Lifecycle lifecycle)
Register a new Lifecycle instance, associated with
 the specified lifecycleId, to be supported by this
 LifecycleFactory.  This method may be called at
 any time, and makes the corresponding Lifecycle instance
 available throughout the remaining lifetime of this web application.

  or lifecycle is nullpublic abstract Lifecycle getLifecycle(java.lang.String lifecycleId)
Create (if needed) and return a Lifecycle instance
 for the specified lifecycle identifier.  The set of available
 lifecycle identifiers is available via the
 getLifecycleIds() method.
Each call to getLifecycle() for the same
 lifecycleId, from within the same web application,
 must return the same Lifecycle instance.
public abstract java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String> getLifecycleIds()
Return an Iterator over the set of lifecycle
 identifiers supported by this factory.  This set must include
 the value specified by LifecycleFactory.DEFAULT_LIFECYCLE.
