The processing -occurs in the [methodname]#handleUIDLMessage()# method in -[classname]#ApplicationConnection#, but the logic can be quite overwhelming, so -we describe the phases in the following summary. - -. Any dependencies defined by using [classname]#@JavaScript# or -[classname]#@StyleSheet# on the server-side class are loaded. Processing does -not continue until the browser confirms that they have been loaded. - -. New connectors are instantiated and [methodname]#init()# is run for each -[interfacename]#Connector#. - -. State objects are updated, but no state change event is fired yet. - -. The connector hierarchy is updated, but no hierarchy change event is fired yet. -[methodname]#setParent()# and [methodname]#setChildren()# are run in this phase. - -. Hierarchy change events are fired. This means that all state objects and the -entire hierarchy are already up to date when this happens. The DOM hierarchy -should in theory be up to date after all hierarchy events have been handled, -although there are some built-in components that for various reasons do not -always live up to this promise. - -. Captions are updated, causing [methodname]#updateCaption()# to be invoked on -layouts as needed. - -. [classname]#@DelegateToWidget# is handled for all changed state objects using -the annotation. - -. State change events are fired for all changed state objects. - -. [methodname]#updateFromUIDL()# is called for legacy connectors. - -. All RPC methods received from the server are invoked. - -. Connectors that are no longer included in the hierarchy are unregistered. This -calls [methodname]#onUnregister()# on the [interfacename]#Connector#. - -. The layout phase starts, first checking the sizes and positions of all elements, -and then notifying any [interfacename]#ElementResizeListener#s, as well as -calling the appropriate layout method for the connectors that implement either -[classname]#SimpleManagedLayout# or [classname]#DirectionalManagedLayout# -interface. - - - - - |
