how to put a string value from <h:inputHidden> to a bean property?

I have a simple "register" page built with primefaces tags where user inputs his login, clicks OK and that info is stored in DB via POST request to a bean. Login is saved properly, but there is another one... I want to store implicit String field which represents user's "role" and is always equal to "Guest". I've tried two different approaches but all of them failed for me:

1)

<h:outputLabel for="login" value="Login" />
<p:inputText required="true" id="login" value="#{userBean.login}" 
    label="Login" />
<h:inputHidden value="#{userBean.roleName}" id="rolename" 
    name="Guest" />
<p:commandButton value="OK" update="dataForm" action="#{userBean.create}" 
     ajax="false">

2)

<h:outputLabel for="login" value="Login" />
<p:inputText required="true" id="login" value="#{userBean.login}"
     label="Login" />
<p:commandButton value="OK" update="dataForm" action="#{userBean.create}" 
    ajax="false">
    <f:param id="rolename" value="User" binding="#{userBean.roleName}"/> 
</p:commandButton>

could anybody provide an idea for me? thx. environment: jdk7, tomcat7, eclipse, primefaces

Use either plain HTML <input type="hidden"> or JSF <f:param> along with a @ManagedProperty.

So, either

<input type="hidden" name="rolename" value="Guest" />

or

<p:commandButton ...>
    <f:param name="rolename" value="Guest" />
</p:commandButton>

Either way, they're available as a HTTP request parameter by 

@ManagedProperty("#{param.rolename}")
private String rolename; // +getter+setter
