Hi.
i have readOnly inputText is JSF as

<h:inputText id="emails" value="#{myBean.emails}"/ readonly="true">

with backend getter and setter methods.

well when i submit form i do not have any value in my myBean.emails varaible. i have searched and came to know that readOnly and disabled fields are not decoded by JSF.
Is there any other way i can send this readOnly values to backend bean

thanks in advance.

Well, if it is readonly it has not changed. So simply usinf a scope for myBean that spans the requests.

If you use event, it will be lost after the event has ended. To keep it over multiple requests use page/conversation/session.

whaeed, html spec says that disabled inputs don't send their value back to the server. I though readonly ones did - anyway, ask in a JSF forum (e.g. on java.sun.com or myfaces list) as this is pure JSF
