Validation only on save (submit) button press

622758

Hello everyone,

I have a simple question to ask. I have a create form with serveral required fields and some dependant drop downs. When I select a value in one drop down the form autosubmits and triggers the field validation which immediately displays an error. I do not want this to happen as the user has not attempted to save the record, is there a way to bypass the validation until the save button is pressed?

I tried to set immediate=true for the drop down but this does not work. (Works fine for buttons)

Cheers,

Peter

Oh, if you've got required fields or faces-level validators, you need to [turn off client-side validation|http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/jdeveloper/10.1.3/state/content/navId.4/navSetId._/vtTopicFile.jsf_apps|adfcreate|af_aclientsidevalidate~html/] as well.

If this still doesn't work, try using showRequired instead of required, and instead use the "Mandatory" setting in your underlying entity object (or view object, if it can't be done at the entity level).

Best,
Avrom

Dont'cha just love the forum software? That link, without spaces, should be

where <pipe> is the vertical line/flat colon.

Thanks for the help!

This looks like the solution but I cannot get it to work. How do I use the PPRPageController in my application?
I have created the class and set it up in the faces config as a request scope bean but how do I get it to work
on all pages that need it?

Look at EditDepartmentsPageDef.xml:

<pageDefinition xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/uimodel"
                version="10.1.3.40.66" id="EditDepartmentsPageDef"
                Package="adf.sample.view.pageDefs"
                ControllerClass="#{PPRPageController}">{code}

Hope this helps,
Avrom

Ok,

I got it to work in a test page but it is not working correctly on the intended page. I think the check is happening before this phase because if I take required off it works - it shows the println statement.
