Output/Format

Synopsis

This renderer represents an output component as a formatted message, with parameter component children providing the parameter values.

Component family:	javax.faces.Output
Renderer type:	javax.faces.Format
Renders children:	No

Encode behavior

Renders the component as text, within an HTML <span> element if any of the CSS style attributes apply or the component ID is set. The component’s value should be a parameterized message string. An Object[] is created from the component’s UIParameter children and passed along with the component’s value as arguments to the java.text.MessageFormat format() method to format a message, which is then rendered, with all special characters converted to their character entity equivalents if escape is set to true.

Decode behavior

None.
