Adding a Label Component

The outputText tag represents a label. The greeting.jsp page has two outputText tags. One of the tags displays the number 0. The other tag displays the number 10:

    <h:outputText lang="en_US"
         value="#{UserNumberBean.minimum}"/>
    <h:outputText value="#{UserNumberBean.maximum}"/>

The value attributes of the tags get the values from the minimum and maximum properties of UserNumberBean using value expressions, which are used to reference data stored in other objects, such as beans. See Backing Beans for more information on value expressions.

With the addition of the outputText tags (along with some static text), the greeting page looks like the following:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
<f:view>
    <h:form id="helloForm1">
        <h2>Hi. My name is Duke. I’m thinking of a number from
         <h:outputText lang="en_US"
             value="#{UserNumberBean.minimum}"/> to
         <h:outputText value="#{UserNumberBean.maximum}"/>.
        Can you guess it?</h2>
    </h:form>
</f:view>
