I have a page in which I edit some entity. This page has two command buttons. One is Back and one is Save, and on this page I have a form with input fields (idInputSubject). Some of them are necessary, some are not.
How can I guarantee that I press the "Back" button (cancel editing and return), the check will be ignored, which is not the case now. Now, when I press the back or save confirmation buttons, if I did not fill out the required entry with the correct values (idInputSubject).
The "Back" and "Save" buttons are in the same form:
<h:form id="idFormMeasureDetail" styleClass="bodyForm" prependId="false">
...
<p:commandButton value="#{contentMB.msg.label_back.value}"
action="#{chooseMeasureControllerMB.aSearch}"
rendered="#{detailMeasureMB.navigation eq 0}" ajax="false"
icon="ui-icon-arrowreturnthick-1-w"/>
<p:commandButton value="#{contentMB.msg.button_save.value}" ajax="false"
icon="ui-icon-disk" actionListener="#{detailMeasureControllerMB.alApplyChanges}"
title="#{contentMB.msg.tip_Apply.value}" />
...
<p:inputTextarea id="idInputSubject" value="#{detailMeasureMB.measure.aufgabe}"
readonly="#{!userSessionMB.supervisor and !detailMeasureMB.isCreator}"
required="#{globalSessionMB.globalWebOptionsMap['MMRequiredSubject'].propvalue}"
title="#{contentMB.msg.tip_Betreff.value}"
autoResize="false" style="width:100%;" >
</p:inputTextarea>
<p:message id="inputSubjectMsg" for="idInputSubject" display="icon" />
...
</h:form>
ChooseMeasureControllerMB:
@ManagedBean(name = "chooseMeasureControllerMB")
@RequestScoped
public class ChooseMeasureControllerMB extends BaseMeasureControllerMB {
...
public String aSearch() {
...
return "/pages/mm/showMeasuresList.xhtml?faces-redirect=true";
}
...
}
