Why not just output the readonly attribute in the <textarea>, like in this fiddle?

If you need to do this inconditionally, just type it in your HTML, if it is conditional, add a SimpleAttributeModifier to the TextArea.

it does work but the textarea has been grayed out. How can we make the text clearer? – Best Jan 09 '12 at 13:49
@Best you can style it with CSS, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5485642/how-do-you-style-disabled-textarea-in-ie8 – Sam Hasler Jan 09 '12 at 20:56
