[OmniFaces utilities (2.0)] Check if we're currently in the Render Response phase

---

[OmniFaces utilities] The isRenderResponse() method returns true if we're currently in the Render Response phase. This explicitly checks the current phase ID instead of FacesContext#getRenderResponse() as the latter may unexpectedly return false during a GET request when <f:viewParam> is been used.

---

Method:

See also: Faces#getContext()

Usage:

The Faces#isRenderResponse() is an useful method when the snippet of code that follows must be executed only in Render Response phase, or in any phase, except the Render Response phase:

import org.omnifaces.util.Faces;

...

boolean isRR = Faces.isRenderResponse();

if(isRR){

   // JSF lifecycle is in Render Response phase

} else {

   // JSF lifecycle is not in Render Response phase

}

Based on Faces#isRenderResponse() implementation, you can write a method for each JSF phase. For example, you can write an isProcessValidations() method, as below:

public static boolean isProcessValidations(FacesContext context) {

  return context.getCurrentPhaseId() == PhaseId.PROCESS_VALIDATIONS;

}

Or, even a generic method (pass it the JSF PhaseId to be checked):

public static boolean isPhase(FacesContext context, PhaseId phaseId) {

  return context.getCurrentPhaseId() == phaseId;

}
