Dynamic Parameter Page - Hidden and Required fields

Question

Post Author: robfurrball
CA Forum: .NET
Product: CR 10
Version: 10.0.0.5.1279
Operating System(s): XP
Database(s): SQL Server All, This is my first forum post, so please excuse any mistakes...I believe this is the right forum for the topic.  I'm working on a page that will dynamically read the parameters in a CR report requested by a user and will build and display an input for each parameter (datepicker for date, drop down list for discrete values, etc.) I'm looking at how to define whether a parameter should be hidden (ex. username - populated by a session variable) or required (ex. Customer Name - would like to bold or put a special character next to the label/prompting text to show that it is required). The best that I've come up with would be to define a naming scheme like @_variable for hidden and @#variable for required.  Is there another way that this could be done in case other groups want to use this page to load reports in the future, but may not have those naming schemes enforced? Thanks,Rob

put this tag in body of your jsp
<af:messages/>
-- in backBean
public void save()
if ((bindingCampo1 == null) || (bindingCampo1 .getValue() == null))
JSFUtils.addFacesMessage(" This field is required.", FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
else if ((bindingCampo2 == null) || (bindingCampo2.getValue() == null))
JSFUtils.addFacesMessage("This field is required.", FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
else
// with this line you call method save at your appModule and there you do a commit of you save operation
OperationBinding operation = bindings.getOperationBinding("save");
operation.execute();
if (operation.getErrors().isEmpty())
JSFUtils.addFacesMessage("Save sucefull.", FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO);
