Difference between value and anchor tag for UIComponents in JSF

Question

I am learning JSF and confused about these two attributes. What difference does it make if I use:

<h:inputText value="#{myBean.myProperty}/>"

instead of using:

<h:inputText binding="#{myBean.myProperty}/>"

Answer 1

From the tag library API:

• Value : javax.el.ValueExpression ( should be evaluated as java.lang.Object ). The current value of this component.
• binding : javax.el.ValueExpression ( you need to evaluate javax.faces.component.UIComponent ). Binding ValueExpression this component to a property in the backup bean
