JSF 2 validateLongRange example

f:validateLongRange” is a JSF range validator tag, which is used to check the range of a numeric value. For example,


<h:inputText id="age" value="#{user.age}">
	<f:validateLongRange minimum="1" maximum="150" />
</h:inputText>				

When this form is submitted, the validator will make sure the “age” value is within the range from 1 to 150.
