maxlength property not working with javafx webview

Question

I'm developing an application using Struts2.

It works fine in Chrome/IE etc. On JavaFX webview the maxlength property doesn't restrict the user input to the specified amount.

Sample code:

<s:textfield  name = "user_cno" 
             label = "Contact No" 
                id = "idContactNo" 
             class = "inputField" 
         maxlength = "10" />

I've tried changing the User Agent to the following:

• Mozilla/5.0
• AppleWebKit/537.44
• JavaFX/8.0
• Safari/537.44

but it didn't work for any of them.

Answer 1

This is a WebView bug that has been injected in Java8. There is an unassigned open ticket for the same in the JavaFX developers JIRA community.
