Hi David,
Life could be easy with facelets. For example:
Tag file: myinputText.xhtml
<?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";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets";
xmlns:t="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk";
xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core";
>
<ui:composition>
<c:if test="#{empty value}">
<c:set var="value" value="#{default}"/>
</c:if>
<t:inputText id="#{name}" value="#{value}" required="#{required}">
<c:if test="#{!empty size}">
<f:attribute name="size" value="#{size}"/>
</c:if>
<ui:insert/>
</t:inputText>
</ui:composition>
</html>
So, on your page:
<my:inputText value="#{myBean.fieldValue}" default="Search..." size="50"
required="false"/>

---SPAM--- Re: setting default value for input field?
Thanks but it does not fit the needs
1) the default value should be configurable per page. It's not the only
hidden field. Some have a searchScope that depend on which page the form
sit in. It can't be initialized by 'managed property'
Cmon, there should be something as simple as defaut="..." that exist in
JSF. I can't believe a form couldn't have default values in the JSP...
