JSF 2.2 HTML5

With JSF 2.2 you can now use html5 syntax and all you need for Jsf to process the element is jsf:id="", html passthroughs are allowed now,  See example below!


<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

      xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
      xmlns:p="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/passthrough"
      xmlns:jsf="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf">
    <head jsf:id="head">
        <title>Facelet Title</title>
        <h:outputStylesheet name="css/app.css"/>
    </head>
<body>
<input class="span3" required="required" value="#{index.name}" jsf:id="name" name="name" placeholder="Full Name" type="text"/> 
</body>

</html>

Display partial Strings using OutputText and JSTL

Here is how you can display a substring in JSF using h:outputText and JSTL.

Add the JSTL functions namespace: xmlns:fn="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" to your JSF page.

Use JSTL in the EL Language: #{fn:substring(item.NameOfItem,0,10)} .

That is it!

Thanks.
