apply

public abstract void apply(FaceletContext ctx,
                           UIComponent comp)
                    throws IOException

Called by classes that implement FaceletHandler in their implementation of apply().

If the argument comp is new to the view, for each tag attribute declared to be in the pass through attribute namespace, set the name and value of the attribute into the pass through attributes map of the component. See UIComponent.getPassThroughAttributes(boolean). See the VDLDocs for the namespace URI of the pass through attribute namespace. Attributes whose value is a ValueExpression must remain un-evaluated and stored in the map as ValueExpression instances.

Parameters:

ctx - the FaceletContext for this request

comp - the UIComponent that corresponds to this element.

Throws:

IOException - if any files necessary to apply this tag handler have any difficulty while loading
