Requirement- We need to show value in input text into uppercase,lower or capitalize.There is a way to do this by setting contentStyle of the input text.
For UpperCase- <af:inputText label="name" id="it1" contentStyle="text-transform:uppercase;"/> For LowerCase- <af:inputText label="name" id="it1" contentStyle="text-transform:lowercase;"/> For InitCap- <af:inputText label="name" id="it1" contentStyle="text-transform:capitalize;"/>
Note: – This is only used in displaying.When you commit, it will save as what user entered in the input text.
Using Java script –
<af:resource type="javascript"> function changeToUpper(event) { var inputComp = event.getCurrentTarget(); inputComp.setValue(inputComp.getSubmittedValue().toUpperCase()); } </af:resource> <af:inputText value="#{bindings.EmpName.inputValue}" label="#{bindings.EmpName.hints.label}" columns="#{bindings.EmpName.hints.displayWidth}" shortDesc="#{bindings.EmpName.hints.tooltip}" id="it2" clientComponent="true"> <f:validator binding="#{bindings.EmpName.validator}"/> <af:clientListener type="keyUp" method="changeToUpper"/> </af:inputText>
It will trigger the javascript function which will fetch value of inputText and set to upper case.
Another way of doing this.Override voImpl method like below
public void setEmpName(String value) { setAttributeInternal(EmpName, value.toUpperCase()); }
