Force to use comma as a decimal separator in inputText field - jsf

I'm having a inputText where a number having a comma as a decimal separator is expected. The backend amount field is a BigDecimal, so the actual number going to the backend should be in the form 100.00 while I want the UI to show 100,00 and not accept 100.00.
I have looked at the inputNumber component which kinda does what I want, but we do not have that dependency in our project, so it's out of discussion.
I have also tried adding <f:convertNumber pattern="#0,00" />, but that does not help or I don't know how to use it...
Any help would be appreciated.
<p:inputText id="grossPayment"
styleClass="greyText boldText"
converterMessage="#{nts['grossPaymentNumbers']}"
requiredMessage="#{nts['grossPaymentRequired']}"
required="#{bean.profile.salary.required}"
value="#{bean.profile.salary.amount}">
<f:validator
disabled="#{!bean.profile.salary.required}"
validatorId="positiveNumberValidator" />
</p:inputText>

JSF <h:inputText> should accept just number

i 've been looking a lot about how to make my allows just number to be inserted inside , seems quite easy but it doesn't work in anyway.
I have this code :
<p:fragment id="thresoldPrice">
<h:inputText type="number"value="" disabled="#{!tradingFunnelCBean.tradingFunnelMBean.conditionalOrder}" styleClass="#{!tradingFunnelCBean.tradingFunnelMBean.conditionalOrder ? '' : 'num-col'} middle-space">
<f:convertNumber pattern="#.####" integerOnly="true" maxFractionsDigit="4"/>
<p:watermark for="thresoldPrice"value="#{localizationBean.getMessageValue('EP3.GIMB.TRADINGFUNNEL.PRIVATE.LABEL.WATERMARK', languagePreferenceBean.selectedPreference)}" />
</h:inputText>
</p:fragment>
but it keeps accepting String values. i would also like to make the value inserted in this format "#.####" but the pattern attribute of the h:inputText doesn't make anything.
Any suggestion?

Double JSF only without comma or dot

how is it possible to display a double like "1"
At the moment the double appears with 1.0
But I want to have for example 1,5, too.
But if I have only 1 (the numbers after the comma or dot is zero, than I want to have a value without comma or dot)
How can I do this?
Thanks
I suppose this is what you want to achieve:
<h:outputText value="1,0">
<f:convertNumber minFractionDigits="0" />
</h:outputText>
Will output 1
<h:outputText value="1,5">
<f:convertNumber minFractionDigits="0" />
</h:outputText>
Will output 1,5
Make sure to use correct decimal separator depending on your Locale when testing this.
You can play arround a bit more with the f:convertNumber tag. http://www.jsftoolbox.com/documentation/help/12-TagReference/core/f_convertNumber.html

how to restrict only letters and numbers at p:inputMask

I want to restrict my <p:inputMask> with only letters and numbers without giving any size (max-legth) limit. I tried to use mask attribute but when I use mask attriibute it gives a max-length for my inputMask. Could you please help me to solve this issue ?
Sample Code :
<p:inputMask value="#{gercekKrediBasvuruDetayGirisView.kisi.ticariHarfSeri}"
required="true" mask="***"
requiredMessage="#{msg['GercekKrediBasvuruTuketiciMaliBilgiler.belgeSeriNull']}"
/>
If your input does not have to be <p:inputMask> and can be <h:inputText> or <p:inputText> then the easiest way to go would be to use it with regex:
<h:inputText id="inputField" value="#{backingbean.username}" validatorMessage="Value does not match pattern.">
<f:validateRegex pattern="^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" />
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="inputField" />
If you only allow lower case letters go with ^[a-z0-9]+$.
<p:inputMask> is designed for somewhat stricter validation than only letters and numbers.

<f:convertNumber pattern="####.00"/> cuts off the numbers after comma PrimeFaces 3.5/JSF 2.0

I am using PrimeFaces 3.5 with JSF 2.0. I have fields, which is used to enter an amount in the format like 100000.00. sometimes users enter the amounts including commas like 15,234.00 and when they submit the page, it cuts off the numbers after comma and pass only 15. Kindly suggest?
I am using the below converter and validator to validate the field.
<p:inputText value="#{myBean.EstLossAmt }" converterMessage="Please enter only numeric values" id="estimatedLoss">
<f:convertNumber pattern="####.00"/>
<f:validateDoubleRange minimum="0.00" maximum="999999999.99"/>
</p:inputText>

Formatting a double in JSF

I have a problem similar to the one found here : JSF selectItem label formatting.
What I want to do is to accept a double as a value for my and display it with two decimals. Can this be done in an easy way?
I've tried using but that seems to be applied on the value from the inputText that is sent to the server and not on the initial value in the input field.
My code so far:
<h:inputText id="december" value="#{budgetMB.december}" onchange="setDirty()" styleClass="StandardBlack">
<f:convertNumber maxFractionDigits="2" groupingUsed="false" />
</h:inputText>
EDIT: The above code actually works. I was fooled by JDeveloper that didn't update the jsp page even when I did a explicit rebuild of my project and restarted the embedded OC4J server. However, after a reboot of my computer everything was fine.
If I'm not misunderstanding your requirement, I was able to achieve formatting of the value in the input box during the rendering of the view with:
<h:inputText id="text1" value="#{...}">
<f:convertNumber pattern="#,###,##0.00"/>
</h:inputText>
I was using the Standard Faces Components in my vendor-branded Eclipse so I'm assuming the pattern attribute is part of standard JSF.
If what you are trying to do is make the value of the input text field change on screen (to correct user input), you should probably look into using one of the JSF ajax frameworks like Rich Faces.
A possible example would look like this:
<h:inputText id="december" value="#{budgetMB.december}" styleClass="StandardBlack">
<f:convertNumber maxFractionDigits="2" groupingUsed="false" />
<a4j:support event="onblur" reRender="december" />
</h:inputText>
I haven't tested this, but I think it may work.
It seems you're actually formatting a currency. There already exists a specific formatter to handle currencies that you can assign many options to:
<f:convertNumber type="currency" />
Some interesting attributes of this tag are: locale, currencyCode, integerOnly, currencySymbol and pattern.
