Renderer (wcomponents-core 1.5.24 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractWebXmlRenderer, VelocityRenderer
```
public interface Renderer
extends Serializable
```
Handles rendering of WComponents. This interface is technology independant, but implementations will be tied to a particular technology, e.g. web-based HTML/XML. Each WComponent will only use one renderer per rendering technology.
If a WComponent has no renderer, it just renders each of its child components in turn.

All renderers must be thread-safe, as only a single instance of the renderer is created by the UIManager. It is recommended that renderers do not keep any state information, to avoid the performance penality of having to synchronize methods.
