## ICE Components
Tag inputHidden

Renders an HTML "input" element of "type" "hidden".

Decode Behavior

Obtain the `Map` from the "requestParameterMap" property of the `ExternalContext`. If the `Map` contains an entry for the "clientId" of the component, pass the value of the entry to the `setSubmittedValue()` method of the component, which must be an instance of `EditableValueHolder`.

Encode Behavior

Render the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. Render the current value of the component as the value of the "value" attribute.

Attributes
Name | Required | Request-time | Type | Description
binding | false | false | `java.lang.String` | The value binding expression linking this component to a property in a backing bean
converter | false | false | `java.lang.String` | Converter instance registered with this component.
converterMessage | false | false | `java.lang.String` | A ValueExpression enabled attribute that, if present, will be used as the text of the converter message, replacing any message that comes from the converter.
id | false | false | `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 | false | false | `java.lang.String` | Flag indicating that this component's value must be converted and validated immediately (that is, during Apply Request Values phase), rather than waiting until Process Validations phase.
rendered | false | false | `java.lang.String` | Flag indicating whether or not this component should be rendered (during Render Response Phase), or processed on any subsequent form submit.
required | false | false | `java.lang.String` | Flag indicating that the user is required to provide a submitted value for this input component.
requiredMessage | false | false | `java.lang.String` | A ValueExpression enabled attribute that, if present, will be used as the text of the validation message for the "required" facility, if the "required" facility is used.
validator | false | false | `java.lang.String` | MethodBinding 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 | false | false | `java.lang.String` | A ValueExpression enabled attribute that, if present, will be used as the text of the validator message, replacing any message that comes from the validator.
value | false | false | `java.lang.String` | The current value of this component. All UIInput derived UIComponents, that are placed within a UIData container, such as a dataTable or panelSeries, should have their value attribute bound to a bean property via a ValueBinding/ValueExpression, since otherwise the UIData container will not keep their successfully validated state, which can cause the component to fail to function properly.
valueChangeListener | false | false | `java.lang.String` | MethodBinding 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.
