Default value for <rich:calendar> component and <h:inpuText>

[dhivyast]

Hi,

Is it possible to set default value for a <rich:calendar> component and <h:inpuText> on load of the UI,similar to defaultLabel attribute for a combo box.

My requirement is to set the value (YYYY/MM/DD) by default for these fields. Kindly help me out

rich:calendar has the following attribute:

defaultTime

false

false

javax.el.ValueExpression (must evaluate to java.lang.Object)

Defines time that will be used: 1) to set time when the value is empty 2) to set time when date changes and flag "resetTimeOnDateSelect" is true. Default value is "getDefaultValueOfDefaultTime()"

see  http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/calendar.jsf?tab=info for details

I'm afraid that h:inputText does not have a such attribute nut you can look at this link for a workaround:

Alternative idea --> For default value for inputtext --> u can create your own custom compoennt which will extend UIInput and add an attribute called defaultValue.
