public class PasswordField
extends AbstractTextField

A version of TextField, but rendered out as an <input type="password"> element. Further, the output value for a PasswordField is always blank. When the value provided to the PasswordField is blank, it does not update its property (care should be taken that the "required" validator not be used in that case).

Includes the size attribute, if a Width annotation is present on the property bound to the value parameter.

Component Parameters
NameDescriptionTypeFlagsDefaultDefault PrefixSince
annotationProviderProvider of annotations used for some defaults. Annotation are usually provided in terms of the value parameter (i.e., from the getter and/or setter bound to the value parameter).org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.AnnotationProviderprop
clientIdThe id used to generate a page-unique client-side identifier for the component. If a component renders multiple times, a suffix will be appended to the to id to ensure uniqueness. The uniqued value may be accessed via the clientId property.Stringprop:componentResources.idliteral
disabledIf true, then the field will render out with a disabled attribute (to turn off client-side behavior). When the form is submitted, the bound value is evaluated again and, if true, the field's value is ignored (not even validated) and the component's events are not fired.booleanfalseprop
labelThe user presentable label for the field. If not provided, a reasonable label is generated from the component's id, first by looking for a message key named "id-label" (substituting the component's actual id), then by converting the actual id to a presentable string (for example, "userId" to "User Id").Stringliteral
nullsDefines how nulls on the server side, or sent from the client side, are treated. The selected strategy may replace the nulls with some other value. The default strategy leaves nulls alone. Another built-in strategy, zero, replaces nulls with the value 0.org.apache.tapestry5.NullFieldStrategydefaultnullfieldstrategy
translateThe object which will perform translation between server-side and client-side representations. If not specified, a value will usually be generated based on the type of the value parameter.org.apache.tapestry5.FieldTranslatorRequired, Not Nulltranslate
validateThe object that will perform input validation (which occurs after translation). The validate binding prefix is generally used to provide this object in a declarative fashion.org.apache.tapestry5.FieldValidatorvalidate
valueThe value to be read and updated. This is not necessarily a string, a translator may be provided to convert between client side and server side representations. If not bound, a default binding is made to a property of the container matching the component's id. If no such property exists, then you will see a runtime exception due to the unbound value parameter.ObjectRequiredprop

Method Detail

writeFieldTag

protected final void writeFieldTag(MarkupWriter writer,
                                   String value)
Description copied from class: AbstractTextField
Invoked from AbstractTextField.begin(MarkupWriter) to write out the element and attributes (typically, <input>). The controlName and clientId properties will already have been set or updated.

Generally, the subclass will invoke MarkupWriter.element(String, Object[]), and will be responsible for including an AfterRender phase method to invoke MarkupWriter.end().

Specified by:
writeFieldTag in class AbstractTextField
Parameters:
writer - markup write to send output to
value - the value (either obtained and translated from the value parameter, or obtained from the tracker)

ignoreBlankInput

protected boolean ignoreBlankInput()
Returns true, blank input should be ignored and not cause an update to the server-side property bound to the value parameter.

Overrides:
ignoreBlankInput in class AbstractTextField
Returns:
true
