h:inputText and UIInput

Question

Hi all,
I know I can create a Textbox with <h:inputText>.
Can I do the same without writing <h:inputText> tag in JSP (i.e. by using UIInput in my Bean)?
If so, how?
If I get this, can I expect the same logic for remaining components also?

Hi,I have encountered the same problem as you,and I find a solution myself,which is shown as follows,but I don't know if these is any hidden trouble in the code.
<h:form>
<h:commandLink action="#{app.action}" immediate="true" actionListener="#{app.update}">xxxx</h:commandLink>
<h:inputText id="_id" value="#{app.val}" immediate="true"/> //must set immediate="true" else the model will be not updated
<h:message for="_id"/>
</h:form>
public class App{
public void update(ActionEvent event){
     FacesContext c = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
     UIViewRoot root =c.getViewRoot();
     root.processUpdates(c);//to update model and short-circuit the validators
in such circumstance,the UIViewRoot's processUpdates method will be called in the actionlistener,and the back bean who titled to immediate(true)'s inputText will be updated, but the one who titled to immdiate(false)'s inputText will not be updated,Why?
Can anyone tell me way?and how to solve?
Thanks a lot!
