Question

Let’s say
I have

 <h:dataTable var="s" value#{somebean.properties}>
 <h:column>
  <h:inputText initial=#{s.min} value=#{somebean.mintmp}/>
  <h:commandButton action=#{filterbean.addProretryFilter(s.id, somebean.mintmp)} />
 </h:column>
 </h:dataTable>

“initail” attribute don’t exit in inputText.
Is there any way to implement desired functionality?

Answer 1

You can bind your input text field to backing bean and initialize it in constructor or @PostConstruct and set the initial value.

   @ManagedBean 
   public class Bean{

      private HtmlInputText inputComponent = new HtmlInputText();
      private String min = "5";
      private String minData;

      @PostConstruct
      public void init(){
        inputComponent.setValue(min);
      }

      //....get/set other logic

    }

In view you can have

<h:inputText value="#{bean.minData}" binding="#{bean.inputComponent}"></h:inputText>
