Setting a default value for input fields

[Kai Weber <ka...@glorybox.de>]

Hi,

if I have a page with an input field which I want to set to a default
value. After the form was displayed and submitted the value of the input
field should be left alone and not changed anymore. What is the
recommended way to do it?  My current solution is the following, but I
feel I miss something. For a text field preferredName I do the
following:

<input t:type="TextField" t:id="preferredName" size="30"/>

@Persist
private String preferredName;

public void setupRender() {
    if (preferredName==null) {
        // preferredName not set already, set default value
        preferredName = "DEFAULT";
    }
}

public void setPreferredName(String name) {
    this.preferredName = name;
}

public String getPreferredName() {
    return this.preferredName;
}

Regards, Kai

Hi,

Use a boolean variable to track whether the form is submitted or not. Based
on the boolean variable disable the input field.

Assign appropriate value to the boolean variable after for is submitted.
