Use the following attribute to add a placeholder to your tag: 

p:placeholder="test"

But what are p and h?
You need to declare the right tag library at the start of your view file:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
      xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core"
      xmlns:p="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/passthrough">

The generated output would be: 

<input type="text" id="nom" name="nom" placeholder="test">

But double check if you are using jsf 2.2 (this may not work in lower versions)

Add xmlns to page header :

xmlns:t="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/passthrough"

and use it like following :

<h:inputText id="nom" value="#{InscriptionBean.nom}" t:placeholder="test" />
