JDev 10.1.2: How to update an attribute which is rendered as read-only

Question

Hello guys, I hope someone can help me with this, I think it should be something easy to do:
I have a UIX page which renders an input form to update a record, in this input form I want to display (as read-only) the user id which is performing the update, but I want the record to be updated with the user id. I have the user id available from another binding.
If I put the input box as editable the attribute is updated, but If I set it read-only it isn't.
Do you know how can I do this?
Thank you.

Answer 1

Ok... I solved it, though I don't think this is the right way.
SOLUTION:
I inserted a formValue into the UIX page like this:
<formValue model="${bindings.AttributeToUpdate}"
value="${bindings.TheValue}"
name="VB_AttributeToUpdate" />The formValue name is very important and must start with VB_ followed by the name of the attribute to update. I figured out this by looking at the generated html code when I inserted the "AttributeToUpdate" as an editable inputtext, it uses the VB_ prefix and was the only way to get the attribute updated.
Thanks anyway, and if someone knows of another way to do this I'd like to know it.
Bye.
