Howard, thanks for the links and interest. In my case I already rewrote all my pages but I still think that error message is wrong.
This is our use case: [X] Use Defaults for everything Once the user unclicks that checkbox 5 inputs are editable otherwise they get default. Since they get default I obviously just want JSF to leave me alone and you know behave like they are disabled ;) That way String fileName ="newFile.txt"; will not be changed and everything is smooth. What I see others complain about is that they have updated the value and then disabled yet still want it posted. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how disabled works and differs from my scenario. In my case there was no reason to do it with javascript though and I did not like the solution in place so I fixed it by using f:ajax and disabled=#{condition} but had it been a central part of my system I would have been more hesitant to use the server side for such a simple operation.
