Validation Phase Bypassed

Question

I Have a form where i am entering some details and all the details are important and essential. I used required=true to make sure it doesn't miss the essential information but when i click the submit button it skips the validation phase ..

what should i do ?

        <h:panelGrid id="offline" columns="2" cellspacing="5"

Answer 1

The problem is that you use the immediate="true" attribute.

Check out these links:

Answer 2

"immediate is to designate that listener fires before validation is performed or beans are populated" from the documentation, but I see no actionlisteners here!. When you used required that was right, and your code exactly worked when I put it in an but no requiredMessage shown,I also didnt see any effect to the ajax statement, I removed it all and nothing changed, you could put that requiredMessage in a bean string for other outputText and clear it programmatically using that ajax action, So try to put each inside a form, :

 <h:form>
    <p:inputText
   value="#{Offline_Payment.bankcode}" required="true"
                    requiredMessage="Please Enter The Required Details">

                    <p:ajax process="@this" immediate="true"></p:ajax>
                </p:inputText>
</h:form>

Good luck.
