Mike and I have experimented for quite some time before diving into the rather complicated world of the optional validator... Guess why we finally dived into that? Because there is no way around it.
As I see for the quick-solution your way might be a Javascript-controlled pop-up! (And I HATE JS...) reagrds Alexander ________________________________ From: Rafael Nami [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 1:30 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: [MyFaces] Custom Validator??? PS - The main problem that persists is that - if the user fills the form1, and I use immediate="true" in "Add Details" button, the form1 values will be empty when the user navigate from detail page to form1 again (don't know FOR SURE, but I think immediate="true" skips the validation, conversion and update values phases). What can I do just to mantain the POJO values between the pages, and just validate the form1 values with a "Complete Process" click? Thanks and Best All Rafael Mauricio Nami 2005/10/17, Rafael Nami <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Thank you both for your support. The point Jesse raised is cool, having a "optional validator" component, and we ***WILL*** need something like it for our other requirements, but in this one, I think we'll go for something like Volker said, because in the "details" page, our team saw that we don't need any information from "form1" to add the details to validate. We simply can add as much details as we need, go back to the form1, and then use the "Complete Process" button to validate all form1 fields. Thanks again Rafael Mauricio Nami 2005/10/16, Volker Weber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello, if i understand you correct, you need to execute updateModelPhase, but skip validationPhase. Have you tryed immediate="true", to skip both, in your "Go to Detail" button and invoke viewRoot.processUpdates() in your "Go to Detail" action?
