JSF validateDoubleRange Tag
This is one of the standard validators provided by JSF to check whether the floating point value (or that can be converted to floating point) entered in the corresponding input component is within the certain range. This range is specified by minimum and maximum attributes of this tag.The page author requires no code to write for validation. Simply use this tag in the nearest enclosing input component. If there is any fault in filling the input component then the error message flashes to show this error.
