Hi Guys! In a couple of my forms, I have to select a value from a list. If my list were shorter I'd use a selectOneMenu. I'm expecting thousands of entries, though, and so I need to present the equivalent of a modal dialog to present a search and select dialog.
In JSF I am stuck with the phased validation concept. If I don't use immediate, I can't leave the page and open the select dialog. Since the selected value is required itself, I can never complete the form. If I use immediate I loose all data in my form. When I have more than one of these required selectOne fields in a form, one gets always cleared, when the other is selected. Is there a kind of a blueprint for my problem? How could writing my own tag ease the problem? Cheers, Navid
