Readonly and form submission

Question

Hi,
I have a real problem with form submissions and readonly text fields. The problem occurs when I have a readonly text field and a field which is requirted to have a value. An example:
<f:view>
   <h:form>
      <h:inputText
         id="test"
         value="#{Test.param1}"
         readonly="true"/>
      <h:inputText
         id="test2"
         value="#{Test.param2}"
         required="true"/>
      <h:inputText
         id="test3"
         value="#{Test.param3}"/>
      <h:commandButton
         action="#{Test.doTest}"
         value="Ok"/>     
   </h:form>
</f:view>When showing this form the first time there will be a value in the text field with id test. When submitting this form and the form isn't correctly validated the user will be returned to the same page BUT there will be no value in the text field with id test but all other values, that were filled in, will be displayed. Is there a way around this so a value in the read only can be redisplayed even thugh the form isn't correctly validated?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Balus is right, they are already set and the bean is in a request scope.
The backing bean looks something like this:
public class Test {
   private String param1;
   private String param2;
   private String param3;
   public String getParam1() {
      return param1;
   public void setParam1(String param1) {
      this.param1 = param1;
   public String getParam2() {
      return param2;
   public void setParam2(String param2) {
      this.param2 = param2;
   public String getParam3() {
      return param3;
   public void setParam3(String param3) {
      this.param3 = param3;
   public String prepareUpdate() {
      MyClass mc = service.getMyClass(someId);
      this.param1 = mc.getParam1();
      this.param2 = mc.getParam2();
      this.param3 = mc.getParam3();
      return "success";
   public String doTest() {
      return "success";
}The prepareUpdate() method is called to initialize the backing bean and then the jsp page is shown and my problems begin.
Thanks in advance
