How to write an inputText accepting only integers in the #,###.00 pattern

Question

Is there any way of writing an inputText which is only accepting digits and also in the #,###.00 pattern format for inputting a currency number in JSF ? (using PrimeFaces will be more appreciated)

Thanks...

Check this link

Here says you can use:

<p:inputMask value="# {maskController.date}" mask="99/99/9999"/>

I never used PrimeFaces before but i've used JSF. If you dont want to use javascript, you need to use a convert tag inside of the inputText tag.

<h:inputText id="money" required="true">
<f:convertNumber maxFractionDigits="2"
    groupingUsed="true"
    currencySymbol="$"
    maxIntegerDigits="4"
    type="currency"/>
</h:inputText>

PD: RegEx is another option. RegEx means Regular Expression. It is a way to check if something like an string matches with a rule. You can use in jsf with the RegEx Validator.
