Adding custom attribute (HTML5) support to JSF 2.0 UIInput component

Question

I am trying to write a renderer which would process the placeholder attribute on an component. I headed to this path after read

Answer 1

This is my way. I added placeholder and data-theme attributes. If you want to add more attributes, you should just add its name to attributes array.

import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.context.ResponseWriter;

import com.sun.faces.renderkit.html_basic.TextRenderer;

public class InputRender extends TextRenderer {

    @Override
    protected void getEndTextToRender(FacesContext context,
            UIComponent component,
            String currentValue)
     throws java.io.IOException{

        String [] attributes = {"placeholder","data-theme"};

        ResponseWriter writer = context.getResponseWriter();

        for(String attribute : attributes)
        {
            String value = (String)component.getAttributes().get(attribute);
            if(value != null) {                             
                writer.writeAttribute(attribute, value, attribute);
            }
        }

        super.getEndTextToRender(context, component, currentValue);

    }

}

You should add this to faces-config.xml file.

 
    
        javax.faces.Input
        javax.faces.Text
        your.package.InputRenderer
