Error when using a condition for required attribute

Question

Hi
I have a requirement to validate the mandatory fields only when the submit button is pressed....if some other button is pressed or some how the form is submitted the validations should not be performed....
I have used required="#{MyBB.somecondition}" for all the mandatory fields...the method that is being called for doing the condition check is given below:
public boolean isSomeCondition() {
    // assumes submitButton is a component binding 
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    Map reqParams = fc.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap();
    return reqParams.containsKey(submitButton.getClientId());
  }It is same that is given at the following location

But the problem is if I am submitting the form using Javascript from another page(page is a popup that is opened inside the current window), this condition doesnt work and it gives me an error saying "Check some field for its value"
Please help me sort out this problem
Thanks

Answer 1

I think the problem is not clear....my mistake
I try to be more elaborate on this....
I open up a popup page from my main window....Here I perform a search(lets say there is a requirement for finding the Country and pincode for a particular city that the user enters)
Now when I select the particular row in the datatable and click the submit button...... I want the selected values to be filled inside the parent window.....
I want to bring to your notice that the button that is clicked is in the popup page...not in the parent window.....
So you see that when that button in popup is clicked i am submiting the form of the parent window and during that time I dont want the validation to occur..... To submit the form of the parent window I use the Javascript like this : window.opener.document.forms[0].submit();Also one more thing that I want to mention is that the method that is used for specifying the condition for required attribute for mandatory fields in the parent window works fine for any button that i click inside my parent window......
What I mean by this is lets say I have a button to add a dynamic row into my parent page then also I have to submit the form but during that time validation should not occur and it works fine.
So now I think its clear that the Javascript is being invoked from another page which is submitting the parent window.....
Then you're doing something wrong. Invoking the wrong button maybe? So please enlighten me where i am wrong and how possibly would I know which button I am invoking??
