Class AjaxBehavior

java.lang.Object

javax.faces.component.behavior.BehaviorBase

javax.faces.component.behavior.ClientBehaviorBase

org.richfaces.component.behavior.ClientBehavior

org.ajax4jsf.component.behavior.AjaxBehavior

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.faces.component.behavior.Behavior, javax.faces.component.behavior.ClientBehavior, javax.faces.component.PartialStateHolder, javax.faces.component.StateHolder, AjaxClientBehavior, AjaxProps

Direct Known Subclasses:

ClientValidatorImpl

public class AjaxBehavior
extends ClientBehavior
implements AjaxClientBehavior, AjaxProps

The <a4j:ajax> behavior allows Ajax capability to be added to a non-Ajax component. The non-Ajax component must implement the ClientBehaviorHolder interface for all the event attributes that support behavior rendering.
