You can drag the Password Field component from
the Palette's Basic category to the Visual Designer to create a component for which the input entered is obscured (all
the characters are stars or bullets). The text the user enters (the component's
password
property) is not obscured or encrypted over the network
or on the server in any way; it is just not displayed on the
screen in the web browser.
After adding a password field to a Visual Web JSF page, you can do a number of things with it:
id
attribute. In the page bean, this property's value is
the name of the PasswordField
object.Enter
Your
Password
.
label
property is not as flexible as the Label component. You can use the Label component if you want more control over aspects of the label's appearance, such as positioning of the label relative to the component.validate
method so you can insert code to validate the value
of the component.processValueChange
method so you can insert code that executes when the
value of this component changes (for example, the
user changes the value of another component that is
controlling the value of this component)password
property to a data provider or an object. For more information, see Bind to Data Dialog Box.common_timeoutSubmitForm(this.form, 'component-id');
. At runtime, this code causes the form to be automatically submitted if the user changes the component value. Once the form is submitted, conversion and validation occur on the server and any value change listener methods execute, and then the page is redisplayed.
A component configured to Auto-Submit on Change can use virtual forms to limit the input fields that are processed when the form is submitted. If the auto-submit component is defined to submit a virtual form, only the participants in that virtual form will be processed when the auto-submit occurs.
password
property to other objects
or bean properties that update this component's properties
automatically.
