After looking at the subForm, I'd recommend using it over my suggestion. It will (hopefully) support state saving methods better than two independant forms. I am using server state as it seems more "friendly" although it does have some serious side effects (like trying to have multiple view active for multiple windows for example). Too bad it is sandbox and not tomahawk. Trying to build and update the sandbox is a pain as there are no nightlies for it (there is an open JIRA on this).

Hi Michael, The component is stable and functional, you can use it with no problem. You are right, only one html form is generated, and the components surrounded by a subForm can update model values and/or be validated separately from other components in the main form. It works with both client side and server side state saving. Regards, Catalin Michael Heinen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks Catalin. subForm sounds promising. I wait for the next version of MyFaces/Tomahawk/sandbox until I test it. How stable is this sandbox component? I assume that 1 html form is generated and not 1 for each subform. Does subForm work with both state saving methods? Michael ________________________________ From: Catalin Kormos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mittwoch, 3.

Hi, Looks to me like you could use the subForm component from sandbox: http://myfaces.apache.org/sandbox/subForm.html HTH, Catalin Michael Heinen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all, I have another question: Is it possible to define 2 forms on one page and that only the submitted form is validated? e.g. buttonA submits formA and buttonB submits formB? I have a datatable on my page with a detail pane. The detail pane contains some fields in order to update the detail data of the selected object (formA). If the user selects multiple objects in the datatable, then I have to show another form (formB) in order to update different fields at once for the selected objects. These fields have to be bound to different attributes of my backing bean of course. So if the user submits formB then the model of formA should not be updated. I want to switch the visibility of the 2 forms via javascript without a generating new server request. Does JSF support the above scenario (e.g. with subviews)? Or is this a requirement that should be better processed with ajax (which would be more complex for me)? Any help is highly appreciated again Michael ________________________________ Yahoo!
