InputText loosing value after setting required="true"

Hi Folks,
'myBean' is request scope bean.
I have a problem here with the inputText tag
in edit.jsp
<h:inputText value="#{myBean.name}" id="name" required="true"/>
<h:message for="name"/>
When i click the 'Update' CommandLink without entering the value in the text field, i see a validation error message. After this when i go back to the old page from my menu and comes back to edit.jsp i see no value in the text field. i can print the value by using outputText like
<h:outputText value="#{myBean.name}" id="outputname">
Why is the value getting lost in inputText?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks a bunch.
Regards,
Sreedhar

the error msg was expected behaviour, when i did not enter any thing in the text. The page was redisplayed with validation error when nothing was entered in the text field. After that when i come back to the edit page for different set of result i see nothing in the name text field. The page is not rendering text field name. Where as when i try to print the value by using outputText i could see the value.
I am wondering why inputText is not rendering the valueand why outputText can render the same value

Restoring af:selectBooleanCheckbox value after setting visible=true

Using JDev 11.1; I have a table that displays data from a model object, and one of the columns contains true/false values which we render in the table using an af:selectBooleanCheckbox. All works fine except that user is able to hide the table by expanding other components which sets visible=false on the bounding component for the table. If user elects to redisplay the table by reducing the other component zoom, then the table displays again but the selected check-marks/tags do not return.
Thought initially it might've been because the query was being reissued on the table, but not so. More about the selected attribute on the af:selectBooleanCheckbox, which I have set to the default (false). So the value property is set to the table collection attribute as required to interface with the model, but I need to know what to set the selected attribute to. I can see that when the table is redisplayed, this default value of false is being sent through to the model which is discarding the values I want to retain.
I've tried some EL in the selected property to set it to true/false based on what's in the table, but the problem with that is that it becomes essentially a read-only control. I need to find some way to disable the value assignment when making the table visible again. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Andrefs,
In ADF BC, one way we deal with this is by adding a transient Boolean attribute to the View Object with getters (translate 0/1 to false/true) and setters (vice-versa). Then, we bind the UI to the transient attribute. It's been so long since I've done EJB's, but could you take a similar approach?

Method CreateChildren in ApplicationControllBar class called twice after setting dock=true

Hi during creating of a custom ApplicationControllBar
component in ActionScript I probably found a (nasty) bug?!
package net.neijman.julia.jaContainers
import mx.containers.ApplicationControlBar;
public class JAApplicationControlBar2 extends
ApplicationControlBar
public function JAApplicationControlBar2(): void
this.dock = true;
super();
override protected function createChildren(): void
trace("CREATECHILDREN EXECUTED");
When I am using my simple custom component in my application:
<jaContainer:JAApplicationControlBar2 />
The trace message trace("CREATECHILDREN EXECUTED"); is
executed twice (meaning CreateChildren is called twice BUT ONLY
AFTER SETTING dock = true (see constructor). When setting dock =
false CreateChildren is executed once. I want to build a framework
on the standard components (depending heavily on the
CreateChildren-method).
In other words, creating dynamic components in the docked
ApplicationControlBar in the method CreateChildren results in a
double placement in the DisplayList.
Has anyone has a clue what's going wrong here? (my
workarround for now is to start the createChildren method with
removeAllChildren();)
Thanks Tom Neijman

Interesting. I would file it as a bug here:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa
And then see what happens. If it's not a bug, you'll probably
get a decent reason why this occurs in the bug notes.

Typing a phrase in the Address Bar of Firefox 3.6 used to lead me to the relevant website, but this doesn't happen in FF4, even though keyword.enabled value is set to true in the config page. Why doesn this happen?

In the about:config page the keyword.enabled value is set to "true". And the keyword.URL value is set to "default". When I type a phrase in the Address Bar, a page with a Yahoo! search result opens unlike intuitively loading the relevant page using Google. Why is this happening?

To use the Google's browse by name feature as used in Firefox 3.6, set keyword.URL to this link:

Hi..while validating h:InputText tag with required="true"

<div class="new_campaign_block">
<div class="campaign_basic">
<h:outputLabel value="List Basic Details:" styleClass="headings" />
<s:validateAll>
<h:panelGrid columns="2" border="0">

<h:inputText id="listname" value="#{lists.name}" required="true"/>
am validating using required="true" and i modified the messages.properties file as
so its validating if i didnt enter the listname like this-- "wizard_form:j_id1248:listname:should not be empty"
but i want the validation o/p like this "listname should not be empty" . is there any way to eliminate the
"wizard_form:j_id1248:" this part in the o/p validation. Or any way to display validation messages as our wish.
please .. ur suggestions are most valuable.

JSF keeps displaying old values after Validation Phase fails

Hi all,
I would like to ask some help in understanding a particular behaviour that JSF shows when Validation Phase fails.
I'm using:
- Tomcat 7.0.2
- JSF 1.2_12
- RichFaces 3.3.3
Problem description.
I wrote a form with 4 input fields: an inputText and 3 selectOneMenu. The inputText is required while the selectOneMenus don't require any validation.
Attached to the first selectOneMenu (row 32), is an a4j:support tag so that, whenever the change event is fired, the list of items of the second
and the third selectOneMenu (row 44 and 58) are correctly filled (note that the mandatory of the inputText is ignored thanks to the ajaxSingle attribute).
In particular, after loading the two lists of items, the actionListener forces the value of the second and the third selectOneMenu to null.
This mechanism seems to work fine until I submit the whole form without filling the input text: as expected, JSF validation fails but if I change the value of
the first selectOneMenu again (causing a new submit), the page keeps displaying the values specified before JSF validation failed for the second and the third
selectOneMenu (note that the actionListener is still called and the values of the second and the third selectOneMenu are still forced to null).
Since I'm using a simple PhaseListener, I noticed the following: before JSF validation fails, every time I change the value of the first selectOneMenu, JSF life
cycle always calls the get method for the second and the third selectOneMenu during the Render Response Phase. In this way, JSF is able to "see" that
those values have been set to null during the Invoke Application Phase.
After validation fails, JSF stops calling those getters when I change the value of the first selectOneMenu.
I hope my explanation was clear enough, thanks a lot for your help.
Regards,
Nico

I'm thinking this has to do with the fact that the UIComponents use the localValue after validation fails. This prevents the values from being overwritten when re-rendering the page, i.e. the inputs keep the value set by the user.
The solution is to manipulate the components directly during the AJAX request when the first pull down is changed. Use the binding attribute to place them into your bean and clear the value directly. That way it will not matter that the expression is not evaluated.

Problem with required="true"

Hi,
If I set required="true" for an inputText, then if I click the return button without filling in this inputText , I can't return because the field must be filled!!!!
Does someone have an idee about resolving that?
Thanks

Set immediate="true" on your return button.
Note: This will skip ALL component validation. Which is probably what you want anyways.

Submit values despite of immediate="true"

Hi,
This is my first try to post a question. So please don't be angry with me if my post isn't perfekt. :-)
I have a JSP with serveral inputText-fields. Each field is required and has a lick to a special search-JSP. To release the link without having the input-fields validated at this moment I had to add the attibute immediate="true". If I fill the input-field while choosing a value from the search-JSP the value will be submitted to the bean. Now my Problem: If I fill the first field without searching with the Link an then try to fill the second field while releasing the link, the first value disappears. (because of the attribute immediate it is not going to be submitted). Is there a possibility to submit this value despite of immediate="true".
I tried to add <f:param> to the link. This seems a possibility. But it could be that I have up to six input-field like this. In this case I habe to sumbit 5 values and this six times. That seems too much. And I hope there is another way to do it.
To clarify my problem here is a reduced and simplified part of my code:
<h:panelGroup>
     <h:outputText value="Field1" />
     <h:commandLink value="Search" action="#{pc_Test.executeSearch1}" immediate="true" />
     <h:inputText id="field1" value="#{pc_Test.field1}" required="true" />
     <h:message for="field1" />
</h:panelGroup>
<h:panelGroup>
     <h:outputText value="Field2" />
     <h:commandLink value="Search" action="#{pc_Test.executeSearch2}" immediate="true" />
     <h:inputText id="field2" value="#{pc_Test.field2}" required="true" />
     <h:message for="field2" />
</h:panelGroup>At the end of the JSP is the submit-Button. If this is clickes the fields will be validated.
I hope you can help me.
Thanx in advance.
Steffi

The immediate="true" attribute in the UICommand will skip under each the update model values phase.

Using value binding expressions to set 'required' attribute

I am trying to use a value binding expression to determine whether the value of various input control's is required or not according to where they are used and not having much luck. I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this...
The following expression works: <h:inputText id="name" required="#{true}"/> whereas <c:set var="required" value="true" scope="request"/>
<h:inputText id="name" required="#{required}"/> does not, even though the expression evaluates to true! I have tried numerous variations (requestScope.required, required == true, required ? true : false, etc.) to no avail. Interestingly, #{1 == 1} or binding to a backing bean method works, but as soon as you add a request variable it breaks.
Am I doing something wrong, is this something that JSF doesn't allow, or just a bug in the RI? Note that I don't want to vary this flag between multiple submissions of the same form, I am just trying to reuse the same JSP include to generate form controls for required and optional data on different forms to avoid a whole lot of cutting any pasting.
Any pointers gratefully received.
-- Keith Wilson

I had something like this happen, and here's what I concluded the problem was. Perhaps your problem is similar.
In the first non-working example you show a request-scope variable being set in the JSP page, and then use that to set the "required" attribute. But consider what happens when you submit the form. There is no longer any request-scope variable set because we have a new request and we don't go through the JSP page! (Not before validation is checked, anyhow).
So basically I concluded that the variable had to be in (say) session scope for it to work as you would like.

How to set/change spell value after button is pressed

Hi All,
I have a requirement, I need to change the spell value(Boolean) dynamically based on the sitution. (say for eg. If i click search spell (ReadOnly) variable shouldbe set to TRUE.like that ..
I have create a dummy VO and in that VO I have created spell variables.
Can some one help me how to do this when a button is pressed, I wrote code after buttton pressed it's throwing the below error.

Focus after Setting a Form Value within the Validate Event ( =8.8)

Hi
Setting Values within Validate Event sets Focus incorrectly on SAP >= 8.8
The following example works fine on SAP 2007.
Why i don't like this behaviour
-I didn't found an easy workaround to fix it
-SetMatrixCellWithoutValidation has the right behaviour but only works with Userdefined - Columns
-It's a quite common usecase to validate something and in the same step set some values after successful validating (or cancel the input by using BubbleEvent = False)
-It just worked for 6 years now
-I have developed around 20+ AddOns and i'm running into this Regression Issue more and more.
But maybe i'm just missing something.
So how would you solve the following code now with Versions >= 8.8 ?
Thanks for any enlightment!

InputText renders as just text when readOnly set to true

Apparently when a <af:inputText> component's readOnly attribute is set to true, the component renders as plain text rather than a text box whose readOnly attribute is set to true. Oracle's ADF tag definition site makes no mention of this 'feature' (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/partners/addins/exchange/jsf/doc/tagdoc/core/inputText.html) but I remember reading it somewhere, I believe in some of the documents that came with an ADF faces download.
And if I had not happened to come across this information somewhere, I would otherwise think this was a bug. But either way, I don't think this is the way it should perform. If I specify a field on a page to be inputText, I expect it to be a text box, regardless of whether I want it readOnly or not. I think its a bad assumption on ADF's part to completely change the rendering of the component.
I want to render text inside a textbox on a page, but make it read only. And I am using it within the confines of a <af:forEach> so I am using the var parameter, and thus am forced to use Oracle's components so the forEach var parameter is recognized. So it appears to me I cannot render the field how I want. I dont see any other Oracle components to render this.
Is this going to be changed or is there a way to submit something to Oracle to have this addressed?

FYI...if I use the disabled attribute instead, thankfully the component still renders as a textbox. Obviously it renders grayed out, but at least I still get a textbox with text in it.
But the readOnly attribute still, I feel, performs badly. So my question still stands, are there plans to change it or can it be addressed? Maybe when Apache takes full control of the library, it will be changed...

Why does my preferred search engine gets hide set to True in search.json after every update to Firefox?

I use DuckDuckGo as my preferred search engine. Everytime Firefox gets updated it dissappears from the drop down menu of search engines. I found in search.json that the Hide value would be set to True. By changing it to False and restarting Firefox DuckDuckGo would be back, until the next update. Why is this happening? It is an extension available from the Mozilla/Firefox extension/addons site.

First of all, thank you for providing troubleshooting info (Troubleshooter addon), have you tried the searchreset tool.

Hi Sandesh,
First note that HR:Security Is for HRMS module for restricting data for respective OUs
MO:Security is for other Modules such as Inv, PO, AR, AP etc., for restricting data
Change the inventory Org to the one you want and then query data...
Hope it helps.
