Tag Summary
actionparam | A combination of the functionality of two JSF tags, <f:actionListener>; and <f:param>. At the render phase, it's decoded by parent component (<h:commandLink>; or like) as usual. <br /> At the process request phase, if the parent component performs an action event, update the value specified in the "assignTo" attribute as its value. <br /> If a converter attribute is specified, use it to encode and decode the value to a string stored in the html parameter. <br />
ajaxListener | This works the same as ActionListener or ValueChangeListener, but for an AJAX container. Add the specified class as a listener for AjaxEvent (sent in case of an AJAX request for this container).
ajaxValidator | The <rich:ajaxValidator> is a component designed to provide ajax validation inside for JSF inputs.
beanValidator | Validate Input by the Bean/Hibernate validator annotations

comboBox | The <rich:comboBox> is a component, that provides editable combo box element on a page.
commandButton | Renders an HTML "input" element. <br /> During Decoding: Obtains the Map from the "requestParameterMap" property of the ExternalContext. If the value in the Map for the value of the "clientId" property of the component is not null, create a javax.faces.event.ActionEvent around the component, and pass it to the queueEvent() method of the component. If the request is Ajax-performed, add its target IDs of the reRender property to the rendered areas list of the nesting AjaxContainer. <br /> During Encoding: Builds an AJAX.Submit JavaScript call for the "onclick" event. Renders the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. Renders the current value of the component as the value of the "value" attribute. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute. Renders child components inside the HTML "input" element.
commandLink | Renders an HTML "a" anchor element that acts like a form submit button when clicked. <br /> During Decoding: Obtains the Map from the "requestParameterMap" property of the ExternalContext. If this Map contains non null value for the "clientId" key, creates a javax.faces.event.ActionEvent around the component and passes it to the queueEvent() method of the component. If the request is Ajax-performed, adds its target IDs from the reRender property to the rendered areas list of the nesting AjaxContainer. <br /> element for decoding as described above with the parameters of the component. (PARAM_NAME and PARAM_VALUE are the names and values, respectively, of any nested UIParameter children.) The name and the value must be URLEncoded. If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute. Render any non-UIParameter children as normal inside of the "a" element.

(The "id" attribute will be the value of the clientId property.) For an AJAX request, the content of this element is included in the response if the value of the property, "ajaxRendered", is set to true.
page | This component renders a full HTML page structure. It must be the first (and only) child for the view root (JSP <f:view> tag). No HTML code can be outside of this component. It also has support for processing child components in AJAX requests, just like <a4j:region>. For a normal request, it will render the results of a <script> element with a client-side library at the page's <head>. If this component includes a "head" facet, the facet's content will also be rendered at the <head> element. For an AJAX request, only affected components in the full document structure will be rendered. Here's an example of using it in JSP (jspx version): <jsp:root xmlns:.... <f:view> <a4j:page><f:facet name="head"> ... </f:facet> <!-- page content here --> </a4j:page> </f:view></jsp:root>

separator | A horizontal line to use as a separator in a layout. The line type can be customized with the lineType parameter.
simpleTogglePanel | Wrapper component with named facets. Every facet will be shown after activation corresponding toggleControl(the other will be hidden).
spacer | A spacer to use in layout. It is rendered as a transparent image. The size is set up with width and height attributes. By default it is displayed as an inline element (i.e. word spacer). By using style='display:block' can be used as a line spacer.
status | Renders area for indicating Ajax request status on the client-side. <br /> During Encoding: Creates two "span" elements with id created as clientId of this component or of target AJAX region (pointed to by the "for" property) with appended ":status.start" and ":status:stop" strings. <br /> "start" span has "display:none" style (hidden). Inside this span, renders the value of the startText/stopText properties or, if they exist, the content of "start" and "stop" facets. <br /> On performing an AJAX request, the client-side script changes the visibility of the "start" span and hides "stop". After all requests for this indicator are completed, restores "stop" and hide "start" start[style,styleClass] and stop[style,styleClass] are rendered for spans as style and class atributes, respectivetly. <br /> During Encoding: Creates two "span" or "div"(depending on 'layout' attribute) elements with id created as clientId of this component or of target AJAX region (pointed to by the "for" property) with appended ":status.start" and ":status:stop" strings. "start" element has "display:none" style (hidden). Inside this element, renders the value of the startText/stopText properties or, if they exist, the content of "start" and "stop" facets. On performing an AJAX request, the client-side script changes the visibility of the "start" element and hides "stop". After all requests for this indicator are completed, restores "stop" and hide "start" <br /> start[style,styleClass] and stop[style,styleClass] are rendered for spans as style and class atributes, respectivetly.
subTable | The <rich:subTable> component is used for inserting subtables into tables with opportunity to choose data from a model and built-in Ajax updates support.
suggestionbox | This element adds "on-keypress" suggestions capabilites to any input text component (like <h:inputText>). It creates a pop-up window for a input field component pointed to by the "for" attribute. For an ordinary request, render a hidden HTML <div> element and the necessary JavaScript code. When input to the target field exceeds the "minChars" property (default is 1), perform an AJAX request with the value current entered. If the AJAX request is detected and the request parameters map contains the client ID of this component, call a method defined by suggestionAction, and use it to return a value as data for render table, same as <h:dataTable>. In this case, the component then works the same as an ordinary dataTable. The rendered table is inserted in the pop-up area and is used for suggestion prompts for input element. If a user clicks on such a table row, its text (or value defined by fetchValue) is inserted as the value of the input field.
support | Adds the AJAX functionality for those UIComponent-based component that have properties for JavaScript events. During Decoding: If a request is Ajax-performed, obtains the Map from the "requestParameterMap" property of the ExternalContext. If this Map contains non null value for the "clientId" key, creates a javax.faces.event.ActionEvent around the component, passes it to the queueEvent() method of the component, and then appends it's reRender components IDs to a list of rendered areas. During Encoding. Doesn't encode as a component. Instead, it adds ValueBinding for a property of the parent component with the name as a value of its "event" property. As a result, when rendered, the parent component builds JavaScript code for submitting an AJAX request on this event. If the component has child UIParameter components, appends it's name/value as additional request parameters. If a parent component is an instance of UIInput and the ajaxType property is "input", submits the value of the input field, also. In this case, you can submit a single input field outside of UIForm.
tab | A tab section within a tab panel
tabPanel | A tab panel displaying tabs for grouping content of a panel.
toggleControl | A link type control for switching betwen togglePanel's facets. The Target Panel is specified with the "for" attribute. It can be located even inside or outside the togglePanel. As the result of switching between facets, the previous facet is hidden and the next is shown.
togglePanel | A wrapper component with named facets. Every facet is shown after activation corresponding toggleControl(the other is hidden).
toolBar | A horizontal bar with items on it. If you want to use it as a standard top tool bar, point to each item with a ch:menu "for" attribute to link the appropriate drop-down menu with the item id on a tool bar. "toolBar" accepts any JSF components as children. They appear from left to right in the definition order. The children are separated from each other basing on the value of the "itemSeparator" attribute. If you want to put the items along the right side for a menu bar, you can use the "toolBarGroup" component as a wrapper and define the "location" attribute there. The items inside the group can have their own separator. See the "toolBarGroup" component description for details.
toolBarGroup | A group of items inside a tool bar. The group item is separated basing on the "itemSeparator" attribute. Location of a group on a tool bar is set up with the "location" attribute.
