Validation in a paneltabbed

Question

Jdev 11.1.14
My page has a paneltabbed with two tabs.
In each tab I have a region with jsff (page fragments).
When I run the application, tab 1 displays. It has some fields that are mandatory (because they are defined this way in the entity object).
When I click in the sacond tab, a mandatory validation error raises. I don't want this to happen because I just want to go to the second tab that is a diferrent screen and I want to do nothing with the first tab.
I have tried to modify the pagedef with skipvalidation=true but I get exactly the same error.
Then I have changed the mandatory definition in the entity object and made the field optional. It works ok (but then it never validates !). Then I have put a client validation (mandatory=yes in the property inspector). Even with immediate=true in the showdetalitem of the panetabbed, I continue getting the mandatory error if I try to change the tab.
I need the field to be normally validated as mandatory except if I click in the second tab of the paneltabbed. How can I do ?

Answer 1

I have put it in both tabs but it doesn't work in my use case. I can send you the piece of code if you like.
This is the definition of the "mandatory field" (remember that it is inside a page fragment):
<af:selectOneChoice value="#{bindings.SvagrCodigo.inputValue}"
label="#{viewcontrollerBundle['ALU.SVAGRCODIGO']}"
required="#{bindings.SvagrCodigo.hints.mandatory}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.SvagrCodigo.hints.tooltip}"
binding="#{backingBeanScope.AluCertIniBB.soc2}"
id="soc2"
valueChangeListener="#{backingBeanScope.AluCertIniBB.soc1_changeListener}"
autoSubmit="true" immediate="true">
and this is the panltabbed (whose showDetailItem display the regions where the page fragments are):
<af:panelTabbed id="pt2">
<af:showDetailItem text="#{viewcontrollerBundle['ALU.CERTIFICADOS']}" id="sdi1"
stretchChildren="first" immediate="true">
<af:region value="#{bindings.AlumnosSolCertificados1.regionModel}"
id="r1"/>
</af:showDetailItem>
<af:showDetailItem text="#{viewcontrollerBundle['ALU.COMPULSAS']}" id="sdi2"
immediate="true">
<af:region value="#{bindings.AluComp1.regionModel}" id="r2"/>
</af:showDetailItem>
</af:panelTabbed>
It doesn't work.
If this field is declared as mandatory in the entity object, an error alert is displayed when trying to move from tab 1 to the second.
