I created a component I'd like to contribute to myfaces. If I stick it in JIRA
will
someone merge it into the code base?
It extends inputHidden by adding an attribute, paramValue, which allows value
binding
predefined form values to a managed bean. For example, if you have a managed
bean
named searchBean with a setLastModified(Date d) method you can create a hidden
form
element with a preset date:
<x:inputParam value="#{searchBean.lastModified}" paramValue="04/05/2005">
<f:convertDateTime type="date" dateStyle="short"/>
</x:inputParam>
renders:
<input type="hidden" value="04/05/2005"/>
When the form is submitted searchBean.setLastModified is called with the Date
object.
