passing a value to the bean from a read-only field

[raindogs]

I am using the Jenia pop-up calendar to allow the user to input a date. What
I would like to do is have link to show the calendar below a text field
(“requestDate”) that displays the user's selection from the calendar. That
all works fine, but the user is still allowed to go in and monkey with the
text after he/she has selected from the calendar. Ideally the field would
display the value selected but would not allow it to be edited. I have tried
adding "readonly" and "disabled" attributes to the field, which achieves the
desired effect but does not pass the value back to the bean when the page is
submitted. Can anyone suggest how to move forward on this? The bean is
session-scoped and my code snippet is below.

Thanks,
Alex


        <tr>
        <td>
        <h:outputText value="Date of Request" />
        </td>
        <td>
        <h:inputText id="requestDate" value="#{arfOrderForm.requestDate}" >
                <s:convertDateTime pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" />
        </h:inputText>
        
        </td>
        </tr>

        
        <tr>
        <td>
        </td>
        <td>
                <jp:popupCalendar for="requestDate" format="MM/dd/yyyy">
                        <h:outputText value="Choose Date"/>
                </jp:popupCalendar>
        </td>
        </tr>
