Problem with Input Text Field

Question

I am trying to use the binding tag for a inputText field... The value of the text Field is a hashmap, in which the key is equal to the binding variable i have used
<h:inputText id="ug" binding="#{userBean.ugclassCode}" rendered="true" value="#{userBean.finalUghm}" styleClass="numericalignRight" />
This is the first time i m trying binding to an inputText so please let me know if this method is correct... and please let me know if there is any other method to accomplish the same.
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Maybe you misunderstand the binding attribute ..
Two ways to get it work:
Way 1:
JSF 1<h:form id="form">
     <h:inputText binding="#{MyBean.inputText}" />
</h:form>MyBean 1    private HtmlInputText inputText = new HtmlInputText();
    private Map inputValues = new HashMap();
    public HtmlInputText getInputText() {
        inputValues.put("key1", "testvalue1"); // test
        inputText.setValue(inputValues.get("key1"));
        return inputText;
    public void setInputText(HtmlInputText inputText) {
        this.inputText = inputText;
    }Way 2:
JSF 2<h:form id="form">
     <h:inputText value="#{MyBean.inputValue}" />
</h:form>MyBean 2    private Map inputValues = new HashMap();
    private String inputValue;
    public String getInputValue() {
        inputValues.put("key2", "testvalue2"); // test
        inputValue = (String) inputValues.get("key2");
        return inputValue;
    public void setInputValue(String inputValue) {
        this.inputValue = inputValue;
    }
