Manage Editable Items to Read only by Backing Bean!!

Question

Hi,
JDeveloper/ADF 11g update 2
I am finding such solution that how can I manage editable items by any action listener against button/link/object.
Details:_
Suppose I have a entry form of EMP tables' VO and want to show as read only during form load but when I will enter/click a edit button(manually created) then all items will be editable to be edited. and after submit and commit records then all items will be appear as like read only.
I want to manage editable and read only by backing class/ action listener of edit button(manually created) . Is it possible ? if possible please give me a such solution.
Please help me.

Ok here you go:
Bean code (put this bean in session or page flow scope): package demo.clickenable;
import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.input.RichInputText;
public class ClickEnableBean
    Boolean enable = Boolean.TRUE;
    public ClickEnableBean()
    public void setEnable(Boolean aEnable)
        this.enable = aEnable;
    public Boolean getEnable()
        return enable;
    public void flipEnable(ActionEvent actionEvent)
        if (getEnable().booleanValue())
            setEnable(Boolean.FALSE);
        else
            setEnable(Boolean.TRUE);
}JSPX page:<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1"
          xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
          xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich">
  <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>
  <f:view>
    <af:document>
      <af:form>
        <af:panelGroupLayout layout="vertical">
          <af:panelGroupLayout partialTriggers="bte">
            <af:inputText label="Label 1" disabled="#{ClickEnable.enable}"/>
            <af:inputText label="Label 2" disabled="#{ClickEnable.enable}"/>
            <af:inputText label="Label 3" disabled="#{ClickEnable.enable}"/>
          </af:panelGroupLayout>
          <af:panelGroupLayout>
            <af:commandButton text="#{ClickEnable.enable ? 'Click to enable' : ' Click to disable'}" actionListener="#{ClickEnable.flipEnable}"
                              id="bte" partialSubmit="true" partialTriggers="bte"/>
          </af:panelGroupLayout>
        </af:panelGroupLayout>
      </af:form>
    </af:document>
  </f:view>
</jsp:root>The real work is done by a partial trigger on the button (id=bte). This trigger is used to update the panelGroupLayout holding the input text fields which are enabled/disabled via the boolean value of the bean. Each click on the button toggles the boolean value and updates the page.
