User,
I'll assume you are talking about ADF Faces + ADF Business Components application, since you don't mention it.
If you are talking about the pop-up Javascript dialog box that pops up, you can do the following:
1). Set required=false on those fields in your JSP.
2). Set showrequired=true on those same fields so that there is a visual indication that the fields are required
3). Ensure the attribute to which the fields are bound have "mandatory" set to true in the BC's
Now, when you commit the form, you will not see the Javascript pop-up, but you will see a message in the af:messages component.
Best,
