| Attributes |
| Name | Required | Request-time | Type | Description |
| accesskey | no | true | java.lang.String | Access key that, when pressed, transfers focus to this component. |
| binding | no | true | javax.el.ValueExpression | Using an EL expression, bind the component reference to a bean property, so that the component may be accessed in the bean. |
| cols | no | true | int | The number of columns to be displayed. |
| converter | no | true | javax.faces.convert.Converter | Converter is an interface describing a Java class that can perform Object-to-String and String-to-Object conversions between model data objects and a String representation of those objects that is suitable for rendering. |

| disabled | no | true | boolean | Flag indicating that this element must never receive focus or be included in a subsequent submit. A value of false causes no attribute to be rendered, while a value of true causes the attribute to be rendered as disabled="disabled". Default = 'false'. |
| id | no | true | java.lang.String | The component identifier for this component. This value must be unique within the closest parent component that is a naming container. |
| immediate | no | true | boolean | A flag indicating that conversion and validation of this component's value should occur during Apply Request Values phase instead of Process Validations phase. Default = 'false'. |
| indicatorPosition | no | true | java.lang.String | Position of input-required or input-optional indicator relative to input field or label. Supported values are "left/right/top/bottom/labelLeft/labelRight/none". Default is "labelRight" if labelPosition is "inField", "right" otherwise. |
| label | no | true | java.lang.String | A localized user presentable name for this component. |
| labelPosition | no | true | java.lang.String | Position of label relative to input field. Supported values are "left/right/top/bottom/inField/none". Default is "none". |

| requiredIndicator | no | true | java.lang.String | Indicator indicating that the user is required to provide a submitted value for this input component. |
| requiredMessage | no | true | java.lang.String | If present, will be used as the text of the validation message for the "required" facility, if the "required" facility is used. |

| validator | no | true | javax.el.MethodExpression | MethodExpression representing a validator method that will be called during Process Validations to perform correctness checks on the value of this component. The expression must evaluate to a public method that takes FacesContext, UIComponent, and Object parameters, with a return type of void. |
| validatorMessage | no | true | java.lang.String | If present, will be used as the text of the validator message, replacing any message that comes from the validator. |
| value | no | true | java.lang.Object | The current value of the simple component. The value to be rendered. |
| valueChangeListener | no | true | javax.el.MethodExpression | MethodExpression representing a value change listener method that will be notified when a new value has been set for this input component. The expression must evaluate to a public method that takes a ValueChangeEvent parameter, with a return type of void, or to a public method that takes no arguments with a return type of void. In the latter case, the method has no way of easily knowing what the new value is, but this can be useful in cases where a notification is needed that "this value changed". |
