Method Summary

Boolean	getAutoPopulateFromRequest()
Boolean	getRenderEmptyAreas()
RenderingContext	getRenderingContext() Returns the current RenderingContext.
void	initListeners(OutputProvider out) Inits listeners.
void	render(javax.jcr.Node content, Map<String,Object> contextObjects, OutputProvider out) Renders the content with its assigned template and exposes the given context objects to the template script.
void	render(javax.jcr.Node content, OutputProvider out) Renders the content with its assigned template.
void	render(javax.jcr.Node content, RenderableDefinition definition, Map<String,Object> contextObjects, OutputProvider out) Uses a specific RenderableDefinition to render the content and exposes the given context objects to the template script.

Method Detail

render

void render(javax.jcr.Node content,
            OutputProvider out)
            throws RenderException

Renders the content with its assigned template. Uses TemplateDefinitionAssignment to resolve the template assigned to the node.

Parameters:

content - the node to render

out - the OutputProvider to be used for output or null if the OutputProvider already set in RenderingContext should be used

Throws:

RenderException

render

void render(javax.jcr.Node content,
            Map<String,Object> contextObjects,
            OutputProvider out)
            throws RenderException

Renders the content with its assigned template and exposes the given context objects to the template script. Uses TemplateDefinitionAssignment to resolve the template assigned to the node.

Parameters:

content - the node to render

contextObjects - objects to expose to the template script

out - the OutputProvider to be used for output or null if the OutputProvider already set in RenderingContext should be used

Throws:

RenderException

render

void render(javax.jcr.Node content,
            RenderableDefinition definition,
            Map<String,Object> contextObjects,
            OutputProvider out)
            throws RenderException

Uses a specific RenderableDefinition to render the content and exposes the given context objects to the template script.

Parameters:

content - the node to render

contextObjects - objects to expose to the template script

out - the OutputProvider to be used for output or null if the OutputProvider already set in RenderingContext should be used

Throws:

RenderException

getRenderingContext

RenderingContext getRenderingContext()

Returns the current RenderingContext. FIXME is this the right place? should we use IoC

initListeners

void initListeners(OutputProvider out)

Inits listeners. Should be called per request.

getRenderEmptyAreas

Boolean getRenderEmptyAreas()

getAutoPopulateFromRequest

Boolean getAutoPopulateFromRequest()
