                      UIViewRoot root)
               throws java.io.IOException
```
    Description copied from class: ViewDeclarationLanguage
    Take any actions specific to this VDL implementation to cause the argument UIViewRoot which must have been created via a call to ViewDeclarationLanguage.createView(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String), to be populated with children.
    The Facelets implementation must insure that markup comprising the view must be executed, with the UIComponent instances in the view being encountered in the same depth-first order as in other lifecycle methods defined on UIComponent, and added to the view (but not rendered) during the traversal. The runtime must guarantee that the view must be fully populated before any of the following happen.
    
    The PhaseListener.afterPhase(jakarta.faces.event.PhaseEvent) method of any PhaseListeners attached to the application is called
    
    The UIViewRoot phase listener installed via UIViewRoot.setAfterPhaseListener(jakarta.el.MethodExpression) or UIViewRoot.addPhaseListener(jakarta.faces.event.PhaseListener) are called.
    
    If the root is already populated with children, the view must still be re-built, but care must be taken to ensure that the existing components are correctly paired up with their VDL counterparts in the VDL page. Also, any system events that would normally be generated during the adding or removing of components from the view must be temporarily disabled during the creation of the view and then re-enabled when the view has been built.
    Specified by:
    
    buildView in class ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - the FacesContext for this request
    
    root - the UIViewRoot to populate with children using techniques specific to this VDL implementation.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if view cannot be built for any reason
  - renderView
```
public void renderView(FacesContext context,
                       UIViewRoot view)
                throws java.io.IOException
```
    Description copied from class: ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Render a view rooted at argumentview. See section JSF.7.7.2 for the specification of the default implementation.
    
    Specified by:
    
    renderView in class ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - the FacesContext for this request.
    
    view - the UIViewRoot from an early call to ViewDeclarationLanguage.createView(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String) or ViewDeclarationLanguage.restoreView(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String).
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if the view cannot be rendered for any reason
  - getId
```
public java.lang.String getId()
```
    Description copied from class: ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Returns a non-null String that can be used to identify this view declaration language.
    
    The default implementation returns the fully qualified class name of the view declaration language implementation. Subclasses may override to provide a more meaningful id.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getId in class ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Returns:
    
    the id of this view declaration language
  - retargetAttachedObjects
```
public void retargetAttachedObjects(FacesContext context,
                                    UIComponent topLevelComponent,
                                    java.util.List<AttachedObjectHandler> handlers)
```
    Description copied from class: ViewDeclarationLanguage
    Assuming the component metadata for argument topLevelComponent has been made available by an earlier call to ViewDeclarationLanguage.getComponentMetadata(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, jakarta.faces.application.Resource), leverage the component metadata for the purpose of re-targeting attached objects from the top level composite component to the individual AttachedObjectTarget instances inside the composite component. This method must be called by the ViewDeclarationLanguage implementation when creating the UIComponent tree when a composite component usage is encountered.
    An algorithm semantically equivalent to the following must be implemented.
    
    Obtain the metadata for the composite component. Currently this entails getting the value of the UIComponent.BEANINFO_KEY component attribute, which will be an instance of BeanInfo. If the metadata cannot be found, log an error message and return.
    
    Get the BeanDescriptor from the BeanInfo.
    
    Get the value of the AttachedObjectTarget.ATTACHED_OBJECT_TARGETS_KEY from the BeanDescriptor's getValue() method. This will be a List<AttachedObjectTarget>. Let this be targetList.
    
    For each curHandler entry in the argument handlers
    
    Let forAttributeValue be the return from AttachedObjectHandler.getFor().
    
    For each curTarget entry in targetList, the first of the following items that causes a match will take this action:
    
    For each UIComponent in the list returned from curTarget.getTargets(), call curHandler.applyAttachedObject(), passing the FacesContext and the UIComponent.
    
    and cause this inner loop to terminate.
    
    If curHandler is an instance of ActionSource2AttachedObjectHandler and curTarget is an instance of ActionSource2AttachedObjectTarget, and curTarget.getName() is equal to curTargetName, consider it a match.
    
    If curHandler is an instance of EditableValueHolderAttachedObjectHandler and curTarget is an instance of EditableValueHolderAttachedObjectTarget, and curTarget.getName() is equal to curTargetName, consider it a match.
    
    If curHandler is an instance of ValueHolderAttachedObjectHandler and curTarget is an instance of ValueHolderAttachedObjectTarget, and curTarget.getName() is equal to curTargetName, consider it a match.
    
    If curHandler is an instance of BehaviorHolderAttachedObjectHandler and curTarget is an instance of BehaviorHolderAttachedObjectTarget, and either of the following conditions are true,
    
    curHandler.getEventName() is not null and is equal to curTargetName.
    
    curHandler.getEventName() is null and curTarget.isDefaultEvent() is true.
    
    consider it a match.
    
    The implementation must support retargeting attached objects from the top level compsite component to targets that are composite and non-composite components.
    
    An implementation is provided that will throw UnsupportedOperationException. A Faces implementation compliant with version 2.0 and beyond of the specification must override this method.
    Overrides:
    
    retargetAttachedObjects in class ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - the FacesContext for this request.
    
    topLevelComponent - The UIComponent in the view to which the attached objects must be attached. This UIComponent must have its component metadata already associated and available from via the JavaBeans API.
    
    handlers - the tag handlers for the attached objects
  - retargetMethodExpressions
```
public void retargetMethodExpressions(FacesContext context,
                                      UIComponent topLevelComponent)
```
    Description copied from class: ViewDeclarationLanguage
    Assuming the component metadata for argument topLevelComponent has been made available by an earlier call to ViewDeclarationLanguage.getComponentMetadata(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, jakarta.faces.application.Resource), leverage the component metadata for the purpose of re-targeting any method expressions from the top level component to the appropriate inner component. For each attribute that is a MethodExpression (as indicated by the presence of a "method-signature" attribute and the absence of a "type" attribute), the following action must be taken:
    Get the value of the targets attribute. If the value is a ValueExpression evaluate it. If there is no targets attribute, let the name of the metadata element be the evaluated value of the targets attribute.
    
    Interpret targets as a space (not tab) separated list of ids. For each entry in the list:
    
    Find the inner component of the topLevelComponent with the id equal to the current list entry. For discussion, this component is called target. If not found, log and error and continue to the next attribute.
    
    For discussion the declared name of the attribute is called name.
    
    In the attributes map of the topLevelComponent, look up the entry under the key name. Assume the result is a ValueExpression. For discussion, this is attributeValueExpression. If not found, log an error and continue to the next attribute.
    
    If name is equal to the string "action", or "actionListener" without the quotes, assume target is an ActionSource2.
    
    If name is equal to the string "validator", or "valueChangeListener" without the quotes, assume target is an EditableValueHolder.
    
    Call getExpressionString() on the attributeValueExpression and use that string to create a MethodExpression of the appropriate signature for name.
    
    If name is not equal to any of the previously listed strings, call getExpressionString() on the attributeValueExpression and use that string to create a MethodExpression where the signature is created based on the value of the "method-signature" attribute of the <composite:attribute /> tag.
    
    Let the resultant MethodExpression be called attributeMethodExpression for discussion.
    
    If name is equal to the string "action" without the quotes, call ActionSource2.setActionExpression(jakarta.el.MethodExpression) on target, passing attributeMethodExpression.
    
    If name is equal to the string "actionListener" without the quotes, call ActionSource.addActionListener(jakarta.faces.event.ActionListener) on target, passing attributeMethodExpression wrapped in a MethodExpressionActionListener.
    
    If name is equal to the string "validator" without the quotes, call EditableValueHolder.addValidator(jakarta.faces.validator.Validator) on target, passing attributeMethodExpression wrapped in a MethodExpressionValidator.
    
    If name is equal to the string "valueChangeListener" without the quotes, call EditableValueHolder.addValueChangeListener(jakarta.faces.event.ValueChangeListener) on target, passing attributeMethodExpression wrapped in a MethodExpressionValueChangeListener.
    
    Otherwise, assume that the MethodExpression should be placed in the components attribute set. The runtme must create the MethodExpression instance based on the value of the "method-signature" attribute.
    
    An implementation is provided that will throw UnsupportedOperationException. A Faces implementation compliant with version 2.0 and beyond of the specification must override this method.
    Overrides:
    
    retargetMethodExpressions in class ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - the FacesContext for this request.

```
    Description copied from class: ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Tests whether a physical resource corresponding to the specified viewId exists.
    
    The default implementation uses ResourceHandler.createViewResource(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String) to locate the physical resource.
    
    Overrides:

                                                          ViewVisitOption... options)
```
    Description copied from class: ViewDeclarationLanguage
    Return a Stream possibly lazily populated by walking the view tree rooted at a given initial path. The view tree is traversed breadth-first, the elements in the stream are logical view ids.
    
    This method works as if invoking it were equivalent to evaluating the expression:
    getViewResources(facesContext, start, Integer.MAX_VALUE, options)
    Put differently, it visits all levels of the resource tree.
    Overrides:
    
    getViews in class ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - The FacesContext for this request.
    
    path - The initial path from which to start looking for views
    
    options - The options to influence the traversal. See ViewVisitOption for details on those.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Stream of view ids
  - getViews
```
public java.util.stream.Stream<java.lang.String> getViews(FacesContext context,
                                                          java.lang.String path,

```
    Description copied from class: ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Return a Stream possibly lazily populated by walking the view tree rooted at a given initial path. The view tree is traversed breadth-first, the elements in the stream are logical view ids.
    
    The maxDepth parameter is the maximum depth of directory levels to visit beyond the initial path, which is always visited. The value is relative to the root (/), not to the given initial path. E.g. given maxDepth = 3 and initial path /foo/, visiting will proceed up to /foo/bar/, where / counts as depth 1, /foo/ as depth 2 and /foo/bar/ as depth 3. A value lower or equal to the depth of the initial path means that only the initial path is visited. A value of MAX_VALUE may be used to indicate that all levels should be visited.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getViews in class ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - The FacesContext for this request.

```
    Description copied from class: ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Return the list of resource library contracts that will be made available for use in the view specified by the argument viewId. If no match is found, return an empty list. See section JSF.7.7.2 for the specification of the default implementation. For backward compatibility with prior implementations, an implementation is provided that returns null, but any implementation compliant with the version of the specification in which this method was introduced must implement it as specified in JSF.7.7.2.
    
    Overrides:

```
    Description copied from class: ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Create a component given a ViewDeclarationLanguage specific tag library URI and tag name. The runtime must support this method operating for the Facelets VDL. Other kinds of ViewDeclarationLanguage may be supported but are not required to be supported. For backward compatibility with decorated ViewDeclrationLanguage implementations that do not override this method, a default implementation is provided that returns null. However, any implementation that is compliant with the version of the specification in which this method was introduced must implement this method.
    
    Overrides:
    
    createComponent in class ViewDeclarationLanguage
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - the FacesContext for this request
