    How to disable validation when selecting tab ?

    chawax

      Hi,

      I have a tabPanel component with switchType ajax. It contains two tabs with input fields, including calendars.

      My problem is that when I select a tab the validation phase is runned, so I can't change tab until I filled all required fields. I'd like the validation to happen only when I submit my form, not when I change tab. I tried to add immediate="true" to my tabPanel, I have no more validation problems, but then I have a problem with converter when the form is submitted :

      Exception during request processing:
      Caused by javax.servlet.ServletException with message: "No Converter for type java.util.Date found"


      What is the good way to do this ?

      My JSP page is as following :
