How to disable ctrl+v (paste) function in a JSF page ?. I am using primefaces component.

I have an inputText component where i am accepting only integer values by validating through keyup event. but i am not able to disable ctrl+v option so the user is able to paste string value into the input text box. html has onpaste option but JSF does not! Thanks in advance.

With JSF 2.2 you can "pass through" attributes to be rendered via <f:passThroughAttribute /> and you would be able to add something like onpaste="return false;", but I assume you do not use JSF 2.2 yet.

You can still easily disable copy-pasting via some custom javascript. With standard javascript this is as easy as this (taken from here):

window.onload = function() {
   var myInput = document.getElementById('myInput');
   myInput.onpaste = function(e) {
       e.preventDefault();
   }
}

With jQuery you can do it like this (taken from here):

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#myInput').bind("cut copy paste",function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
    });
});

The jQuery option is also nice, because you can easily do this with all inputs on your site using a combination of the above code and $('input').each
