[JSF Page Author Beginner's Guide] JSF <inputText> / HTML5 <input> [textbox]

The <h:inputText> renders an HTML "input" element of "type" "text"

Common/basic usage in JSF - without <h:outputLabel> :

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"              
      xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html">
 <h:head>
  <title>JSF inputText examples</title>        
 </h:head>
 <h:body>
  <h:form>
   Name: <h:inputText value="#{playerBean.name}"/>
   <h:commandButton value="Send" action="data"/>
  </h:form>
 </h:body>
</html>

The <h:inputText> will be rendered in HTML as:

<input type="text" name="j_idt6:j_idt8" />

Common/basic usage in JSF - with <h:outputLabel> :

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"              
      xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html">
 <h:head>
  <title>JSF inputText examples</title>        
 </h:head>
 <h:body>
  <h:form>
   <h:outputLabel for="nameId" value="Name:"/>
   <h:inputText id="nameId" value="#{playerBean.name}"/>
   <h:commandButton value="Send" action="data"/>
  </h:form>
 </h:body>
</html>

The <h:inputText> will be rendered in HTML as:

<input id="j_idt5:nameId" type="text" name="j_idt5:nameId" />

The PlayerBean will be:

package beans;

import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;
import javax.inject.Named;

@Named
@SessionScoped
public class PlayerBean implements Serializable{
   
    private String name;
   
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }                      
}

And the data.xhtml page simply display the user inputs:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"    
      xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html">
 <h:head>
  <title></title>        
 </h:head>
 <h:body>
  <!-- View submitted data -->           
  Name: <h:outputText value="#{playerBean.name}"/><br/>                             
 </h:body>
</html>

More examples:

Add xmlns:pt="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/passthrough" for pass-through attributes

Simple tooltip usage

<h:form>
 Name: <h:inputText value="#{playerBean.name}" title="Enter player name here"/>
 <h:commandButton value="Send" action="data"/>
</h:form>

Simple inline style

<h:form>
 Name: <h:inputText value="#{playerBean.name}" style="background-color: darkorange; color: brown; width: 250px; height: 25px;"/>
 <h:commandButton value="Send" action="data"/>
</h:form>


Simple CSS style

<h:form>
 Name: <h:inputText value="#{playerBean.name}" styleClass="input" />
 <h:commandButton value="Send" action="data" />
</h:form>

Preset the input text value via the bean's (post) constructor

<h:form>
 Name: <h:inputText value="#{playerBean.name}"/>
 <h:commandButton value="Send" action="data"/>
</h:form>

And place initialization in the bean constructor:

@Named
@SessionScoped
public class PlayerBean implements Serializable {
 ...
 public PlayerBean() {
  name = "Roger Federer";
 }
 ...
}

Or in post constructor (this is useful if you need to perform initialization based on some injected artifacts):

@Named
@SessionScoped
public class PlayerBean implements Serializable {

 @Inject
 private SelectedPlayerBean selectedPlayerBean; 
 ...
 @PostConstruct
 public void init() {
  name = selectedPlayerBean.getPlayer();
 }
...
}

Keep in mind that constructor (and post constructor) are invoked at each request in case of request scoped beans, so initialization will take place at each request ! This kind of initialization is commonly useful in view/session scoped beans where constructor (and post constructor) are invoked per view/session.
