public class UIOutput
extends UIComponentBase
implements ValueHolder
```
UIOutput is a UIComponent that has a value, optionally retrieved from a model tier bean via a value expression, that is displayed to the user. The user cannot directly modify the rendered value; it is for display purposes only.

During the Render Response phase of the request processing lifecycle, the current value of this component must be converted to a String (if it is not already), according to the following rules:
- If the current value is not null, and is not already a String, locate a Converter (if any) to use for the conversion, as follows:
  - If getConverter() returns a non-null Converter, use that one, otherwise
  - If Application.createConverter(Class), passing the current value's class, returns a non-null Converter, use that one.
- If the current value is not null and a Converter was located, call its getAsString() method to perform the conversion.
- If the current value is not null but no Converter was located, call toString() on the current value to perform the conversion.
By default, the rendererType property must be set to "javax.faces.Text". This value can be changed by calling the setRendererType() method.

```
public Converter getConverter()
```
    Description copied from interface: ValueHolder
    
    Return the Converter (if any) that is registered for this UIComponent.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getConverter in interface ValueHolder
    
    Returns:
    
    the converter.
  - setConverter
```
public void setConverter(Converter converter)
```
    Description copied from interface: ValueHolder
    
    Set the Converter (if any) that is registered for this UIComponent.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setConverter in interface ValueHolder
    
    Parameters:
    
    converter - New Converter (or null)
  - getLocalValue

    the local value.
  - getValue

    Description copied from interface: StateHolder
    Gets the state of the instance as a Serializable Object.
    
    If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.saveState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext) method on all those instances as well. This method must not save the state of children and facets. That is done via the StateManager
    
    This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code:
```
 Object state = component.saveState(facesContext);
 
```
    component should be the same as before executing it.
    
    The return from this method must be Serializable
    Specified by:
    
    saveState in interface StateHolder
    
    Overrides:
    
    saveState in class UIComponentBase
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - the Faces context.
    
    Returns:
    
    the saved state.

                         java.lang.Object state)
```
    Description copied from interface: StateHolder
    
    Perform any processing required to restore the state from the entries in the state Object.
    
    If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that also implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.restoreState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object) method on all those instances as well.
    
    If the state argument is null, take no action and return.
    
    Specified by:
    
    restoreState in interface StateHolder
    
    Overrides:
    
    restoreState in class UIComponentBase
    
    Parameters:
