Read Only page

Question

Hi,
Is there a way to make all the fields in a page read only - say based on a variable input from a task flow? I don't want to check for this variable in all the fields. Is there a way to achieve at top level?
I am using Jdev 12.1.2
Thanks
Uma

You could probably try to write a recursive function which sets the readonly property programmatically and call that from wherever you want.
I have not tried, but you could probably try it. Sample code :
    private void setInputItemsReadOnly(AdfFacesContext adfFacesContext, 
                                     UIComponent component){ 
       List<UIComponent> items = component.getChildren(); 
       for ( UIComponent item : items ) { 
           setInputItemsReadOnly(adfFacesContext,item); 
           if ( item instanceof RichInputText  ) { 
               RichInputText input = (RichInputText)item; 
               if ( !input.isDisabled() ) { 
                   input.setReadOnly(true) ; 
                   adfFacesContext.addPartialTarget(input); 
           } else if ( item instanceof RichInputDate ) { 
               RichInputDate input = (RichInputDate)item; 
               if ( !input.isDisabled() ) { 
                   input.setReadOnly(true) ; 
                   adfFacesContext.addPartialTarget(input); 
Not tested.
Created the above code by copying the resetValueInputItems() method from the below link :
