PrimeFaces edit authority of InputText based on role

Question

I want to set the modify authority of an p:inputText in PrimeFaces, but I want to this on Xhtml page (not in the managed bean). For example I can use "Rendered" attribute to hide the p:inputText for nonAdmin users. However, I want nonAdmin users to see the p:inputText but they should not change the value, just admins can change/delete/update the value. The admins should have modify authority, non admin users should just have read authority. Is there any attribute like rendered?

<p:inputText rendered="#{request.isUserInRole('Admin')}"
             value="#{managedService.files.price}"/>

Note: I may do this on managed bean but I want to know whether it is possible on just xhtml page.

Answer 1

You can simply set the readonly or disabled attributes of the p:inputText.

Or you could use the p:inplace component and disable it:

<p:inplace disabled="#{not request.isUserInRole('Admin')}">
  <f:facet name="output">
    #{managedService.files.price}
  </f:facet>
  <f:facet name="input">
    <p:inputText value="#{managedService.files.price}"/>
  </f:facet>
</p:inplace>

If you are not "Admin", you can see the price, but not edit it.

But I would create a custom tag to keep your XHTML pages DRY and less verbose. See for example: How to create a custom Facelets tag?
