There are several choices, you may try to write a validator method in your managed bean and do a method binding to it via the validator attribute like;
<h:inputText validator="#{beanname.validatormethod }" />
public void validateCode(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent component, Object value) {
//throw new ValidationException if you think value is not valid
}
Also for better reusing, you can write your own validator and bind it to the inputText by the <f:validator />

In addition you can create it's own tag for your validator like in;

Hi,
I have one <h:inputText> field that I would like to validate against
the availability of that entry in the database -- accept only if the
input text is in the database. Can somebody in list list give me some
pointers on this?
Thanks,
With regards,
