LOV selection fails when there are validation errors on the base page

Question

Hi
I have lovs and some other required fields on a page . If there are any validation error on one of those text fields and if I open the LOV (not related to the text fields) and tries to select
an item from the LOV search results, it doesn't do it until unless I go back to the base page and correct all the validation errors on the text fields eventhough those text fields have nothing to do with the LOV.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks
Anwar

Answer 1

I am on Anwar's team, and I've been dealing with the same problem, although on a different page.
The JSPX for a contrived example is below. I can provide backing bean code, if needed.
The form contains two LOVs. Both fields are required. If you leave both fields blank and click Continue, you get a red box around both fields and error messages are displayed. If you then click the magnifying glass to select from the first LOV, the LOV pop-up is rendered. However, you cannot make a selection, either by double-clicking a line item or by clicking OK (the OK button has no effect). All you can do is cancel.
Interestingly, the act of clicking the magnifying glass on the first LOV gets rid of the red box around that field. So, once you cancel out, the second LOV actually does work. If there were more than two fields on the page, that wouldn't happen. The problem seems to be that the LOV doesn't work unless there are no validation errors on the page other than for the LOV which is being invoked.
As you can see, immediate="true" is set on both LOVs. The behavior is the same whether this is true or not.
I'm left thinking there must be something obvious that we're missing... but none of us can see it.
Thanks,
