Summary
Tag name:
<tr:inputDate>
UIComponent class:
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.component.core.input.CoreInputDate
Component type:
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.CoreInputDate
The inputDate component creates a text field for entering dates and
a button for picking dates from a calendar.
The inputDate will default its format to the "short" date format appropriate for the current locale; for example, in English, this is "mm/dd/yy". However, the format can be overridden by using a DateTimeConverter.
Example(s):
Two inputDate, the first converts the dateStyle to "long", the second sets the maximum date:
<tr:inputDate id="mdf2" value="#{date.date2}" label="has converter"> <f:convertDateTime dateStyle="long"/> </tr:inputDate> <tr:inputDate id="mdf3" value="#{date.date3}" label="max validator"> <tr:validateDateTimeRange maximum="#{date.maxDate}"/> </tr:inputDate>
Events
Type | Phases | Description |
---|---|---|
javax.faces.event.ActionEvent | Apply Request Values | Event delivered when the "action" of the component has been invoked; for example, by clicking on a button. The action may result in page navigation. |
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.ReturnEvent | Apply Request Values | Event delivered when the dialog has completed successfully. |
javax.faces.event.ValueChangeEvent | Process Validations, Apply Request Values |
The valueChange event is delivered when the value attribute is changed. |
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.AttributeChangeEvent | Invoke Application, Apply Request Values |
Event delivered to describe an attribute change. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing. |
Attributes
Name | Type | Supports EL? | Description |
---|---|---|---|
accessKey | char | Yes |
Character used to gain quick access to
the form element specified by the
for , if set (or this component itself,
if it is a "non-simple" form element).
For accessibility reasons, this functionality is not supported
in screen reader mode.
If the same access key appears in multiple locations in the
same page of output, the rendering user agent will cycle
among the elements accessed by the similar keys.
This attribute is sometimes referred to as the "mnemonic". |
action | javax.el.MethodExpression | Yes | a reference to an action method sent by the commandButton, or the static outcome of an action |
actionListener | javax.faces.el.MethodBinding | Only EL | a method reference to an action listener |
attributeChangeListener | javax.el.MethodExpression | Only EL | a method reference to an attribute change listener. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing. |
autoComplete | String | Yes | Valid Values:
on, off whether previous values of text fields in the form should be remembered and offered for auto completion. |
autoSubmit | boolean | Yes | If set to TRUE on a form element, the component will automatically submit the enclosing form when an appropriate action takes place (a click, text change, etc.). |
binding | org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.component. |
Only EL | an EL reference that will store the component instance on a bean. This can be used to give programmatic access to a component from a backing bean, or to move creation of the component to a backing bean. |
chooseId | String | Yes | The id of the chooseDate component which can be used to pick the Date value for this inputDate. Use the same syntax as partialTriggers if the components are separated by Naming Containers. |
columns | int | Yes | the number of columns to display in the text control. If no value is specified, a default value will be derived from the current converter, if one is attached. |
contentStyle | String | Yes | the CSS styles to attach to the content of the component. For example, you can set the width of that portion to 100 pixels by setting this attribute to "width: 100px". |
converter | javax.faces.convert.Converter | Yes | a converter object |
disabled | boolean | Yes | whether the element is disabled. |
id | String | No | the identifier for the component. The identifier
must follow a subset of the syntax allowed in HTML:
|
immediate | boolean | Yes | whether the value is converted and validated immediately in the Apply Request Values phase, or is handled in the Process Validators phase, the default. By default, values are converted and validated together in the Process Validators phase. However, if you need access to the value of a component during Apply Request Values - for example, if you need to get the value from an actionListener on an immediate commandButton - then setting this to "immediate" makes that possible. |
inlineStyle | String | Yes | the CSS styles to use for this component. |
label | String | Yes | the label of the bean. |
labelAndAccessKey | String | Yes |
An attribute that will simultaneously set both the "value"
and "accessKey" attributes from a single value, using
conventional ampersand ('&') notation.
For example, setting this attribute to "L&abel" will set the label to "Label" and the access key to 'a'. |
maximumLength | int | Yes | the maximum number of characters that can be entered into the text control. Note that this value is independent of the "columns" displayed. |
onblur | String | Yes |
the event handler for the component losing the focus. Not supported on the following agents: pda |
onchange | String | Yes | event handler for when the value is changed. |
onclick | String | Yes | an onclick Javascript handler. |
ondblclick | String | Yes | an ondblclick Javascript handler. |
onfocus | String | Yes |
the event handler for the component gaining the focus. Not supported on the following agents: pda |
onkeydown | String | Yes | an onkeydown Javascript handler. |
onkeypress | String | Yes | an onkeypress Javascript handler. |
onkeyup | String | Yes | an onkeyup Javascript handler. |
onmousedown | String | Yes | an onmousedown Javascript handler. |
onmousemove | String | Yes | an onmousemove Javascript handler. |
onmouseout | String | Yes | an onmouseout Javascript handler. |
onmouseover | String | Yes | an onmouseover Javascript handler. |
onmouseup | String | Yes | an onmouseup Javascript handler. |
partialTriggers | String[] | Yes |
the IDs of the components that should trigger a partial update.
This component will listen on the trigger components. If one of the trigger components receives an event that will cause it to update in some way, this component will request to be updated too. Separate multiple triggers with a space. e.g., partialTriggers="cmp1 cmp2" Identifiers must account for NamingContainers. You can use a single colon to start the search from the root, or use multiple colons to move up through the NamingContainer. For example, "::" will pop out of this component's naming container (it pops out of itself if it is a naming container), ":::" will pop out of two naming containers, etc. The search for the partialTrigger begins from there. e.g., partialTriggers=":::commandButton1" the search begins for the component with id = commandButton1 after popping out of two naming containers relative to this component. To go into naming containers, you separate the naming containers with ':', e.g.,partialTriggers= "nc1:nc2:nc3:componentId". |
readOnly | boolean | Yes | whether the element is read-only. |
rendered | boolean | Yes | whether the component is rendered. When set to false, no output will be delivered for this component (the component will not in any way be rendered, and cannot be made visible on the client). |
required | boolean | Yes | whether a non-null, non-empty value must be entered. If false, validators will not be executed when the value is null or empty. |
requiredMessageDetail | String | Yes | the message to be displayed, if 'required' validation fails.
Parameters:
|
returnListener | javax.el.MethodExpression | Only EL | a method reference to an return listener |
shortDesc | String | Yes | The short description of the component. This text is commonly used by user agents to display tooltip help text. |
showRequired | boolean | Yes | whether the associated control displays a visual indication of required user input. If a "required" attribute is also present, both the "required" attribute and the "showRequired" attribute must be false for the visual indication not to be displayed. |
simple | boolean | Yes | a boolean value that controls whether the component provides label and message support; when set to "true", the component will not display messaging support or the label (these attributes may be ignored: label, labelAndAccessKey, accessKey, showRequired, tip), and may use simpler layout primitives |
styleClass | String | Yes | a CSS style class to use for this component. |
validator | javax.faces.el.MethodBinding | Only EL | a method reference to a validator method |
value | Object | Yes | the value of the component. If the EL binding for the "value" points to a bean property with a getter but no setter, and this is an editable component, the component will be rendered in read-only mode. |
valueChangeListener | javax.faces.el.MethodBinding | Only EL | a method reference to a value change listener |
