I would like to find out how to set the default value for the textbox field in JSF, the field will be empty onFocus. If the user does not enter any value it will again show the default value.

I was able to find the solution using JS with regular html textbox but could not find anything Using JSF.

<h:inputText id="DT_INPUT" value="#{examplebean.date}" maxlength="11" size="10" />

something like

<h:inputText id="DT_INPUT" value="dd-MMM-yyyy" maxlength="11" size="10" />

but how to tie the actual value back to the bean?

Thanks,
Sai.
