A full JSF 2 example to render a password input field via <h:inputSecret /> tag.
1. Managed Bean
A simple managed bean, with a “password” property.
package com.mkyong.form;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
import java.io.Serializable;
@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class UserBean implements Serializable {
private String password;
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
}
2. View Page
Two pages for the demonstration.
demo.xhtml – render a password field via “h:inputSecret”, button via “h:commandButton”, if the button is clicked, password value will be submitted to the “userBean.password’ property via setPassword() method, and forward to “user.xhtml”.
