h:form |
|
The form tag renders an HTML form element. JSF forms use the "post-back" technique to submit form data back to the page that contains the form. The use of the POST method is also required and it is not possible to use the GET method for forms generated by this tag.
If your application requires the use of the GET method for form submission, your options include using plain HTML forms, binding request parameters to backing bean properties, and using the outputLink tag to generate dynamic hyperlinks.
Example
<h:form id="form1"></h:form>
HTML Output
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="/demo/form.jsp" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"></form>
