    How can I implement this without using Javascript?

    This is only possible when the browser supports HTML5. You can then use the new HTML5 autofocus attribute so that you ultimately end up with

    <input type="submit" value="Submit" autofocus="true" />

    This attribute is not supported by the JSF <h:commandButton> component. Adding arbitrary attributes to JSF components like <h:commandButton autofocus="true"> is also not natively supported by JSF, it would be plain ignored. You’d basically need to create a custom tag/component which supports the new attribute.

    You can also use a custom RenderKit to write unsupported attributes anyway. The JSF utility library OmniFaces has since version 1.3 a Html5RenderKit for exactly this purpose.

    <h:commandButton value="Submit" autofocus="true" />

    Again, this works only in browsers supporting HTML5 autofocus attribute.
