Using Standard Converters

For input:

• The amount field uses a f:convertNumber tag to store a number with a specified fractional part:

       <h:inputText value="#{payment.amount}">
          <f:convertNumber minFractionDigits="2"/>
       </h:inputText>
  

• The date field uses a f:convertDateTime tag:

       <h:inputText value="#{payment.date}">
          <f:convertDateTime pattern="MM/yyyy"/>
       </h:inputText>
  

• The credit card field does not yet have a converter (later a custom converter is used)

For the response:

• The amount field uses a f:convertNumber tag to display a currency symbol and decimal separators:

       <h:outputText value="#{payment.amount}">
          <f:convertNumber type="currency"/>
       </h:outputText>
