[TRINIDAD] inputText with secret=true displays always 6 characters

[Elmar Kretzer <el...@googlemail.com>]

Hello everyone,
i got a short question related to following situation:

 this is a part of a form where people can alter their password.

<tr:inputText secret="true" value="#{myBean.user.password}" >
 <f:validateLength minimum="8" />
</tr:inputText>


The problem: trinidad always renders only 6 characters when secret is set to
true.
This causes the validator to throw an exception.

i am not wether this is a bug or a feature, but are there any common ways
how to deal with this?

Trinidad 1.2.8
MyFaces 1.2.3


thanks in advance

elmar

not a bug.
It renders ****** for security reasons.
I'd move the validation into the bean...
