problem having Multiple action links with required field field attribute.

Hi,

I am facing a problem for having Multiple action links with required field field attribute as true.

Say for example there are two links one update and another delete in a form, And there is a text field which has required attribute as true. Then after clearing the values of text field when i click on delete it will show a message as required.

Thanks,
Tauseef

You can set

immediate="true"

on the delete button. So the form validation will be bypassed and you will have the delete action.

My situation is other I also have multiple actions but I want for some actions the field to be required and for some not, but when I bypass the form validation the required fields are null.

Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks!

Thanks Mitko,

For your problem you can try custom validations means valid you fields while performing action.

Hello Tauseef and Mitko,

The Delete button/required fields problem can easily be solved by using the Ajax4JSF variant of the command components and the ajaxSingle attribute:

<a:commandButton value="Delete" ajaxSingle="true" action="#{bean.delete}" />

This would skip processing (i.e. validating, updating model) of everything else except the command component itself. It does what you want and is lighter for the server too!
