JSF HTML tag library - InputHidden

h:inputHidden

The inputHidden tag renders an HTML input element of the type "hidden". It is essential that this tag is inside the <h:form> tag. Example <h:inputHidden id="hiddenValue" value="#{yourbean.hiddenValue}" /> HTML Output <input id="form:hiddenValue" name="form:hiddenValue" type="hidden" value="Your Hidden Value"/>

Tag Attributes binding Expression The value-binding expression linking this component tag to a backing bean property. converter Text The converter attribute sets the converter instance to be registered for this component. It must match the converter-id value of a converter element defined in your Faces configuration file. id Text The unique identifier value for this component. The value must be unique within the closest naming container. immediate Boolean The immediate attribute is a boolean flag indicating that component events should be sent to registered event listeners immediately rather than after the validation phase of the JSF request processing lifecycle. The immediate flag allows you bypass JSF validation for a particular component. rendered Boolean A value-binding expression that evaluates to a Boolean condition indicating if this component should be rendered. required Boolean The required attribute is a boolean flag that indicates whether or not the user is required to provide a value for this field before the form can be submitted to the server. validator Text The validator attribute accepts a method-binding expression representing a validator method that will be called when the JSF framework validates this component. A validator method must be a public method that takes FacesContext, UIComponent, and Object parameters, with a return type of void. value Text The value attribute sets the current value for this component. valueChangeListener Text The valueChangeListener attribute accepts a method-binding expression representing a value change listener method to be notified when a new value has been set for this input component. A value change listener method must be a public method that takes a ValueChangeEvent parameter, with a return type of void.
