How to add placeholder attribute to JSF input component?

Question

Shouldn\'t this line of code render a inputtext field with the placeholder text \"fill me\" when using html5?

Answer 1

Use primeface 4.0. Versions below this version do not support the placeholder attribute.

1. use name space xmlns:pt="http://java.sun.com/jsf/passthrough".

2. p:inputTextarea id="textAreaValue" pt:placeholder="your text"

   don't insert a new line in inputTextArea.
