I am using JSF 2.1 and primefaces 3.5. Let's say I have a following code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:head>
<title>Web application</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h1>Editor</h1>
<h:form>
<p:wizard>
<p:tab title="Edit">
<h2>Edit:</h2>
<p:dataTable value="#{editorBean.applications}" var="app">
<p:column headerText="Id">
<p:inplace emptyLabel="Value not assigned" editor="true" effectSpeed="fast">
<p:inputText value="#{app.id}" />
</p:inplace>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Name">
<p:inplace emptyLabel="Value not assigned" editor="true" effectSpeed="fast">
<p:inputText value="#{app.name}" required="true" />
</p:inplace>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</p:tab>
<p:tab title="Summary">
<h2>Summary:</h2>
<p:dataTable value="#{editorBean.applications}" var="app">
<p:column headerText="Id">#{app.id}</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Name">#{app.name}</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</p:tab>
</p:wizard>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
When I press next on the wizard, and validation fails (application name is blank) then all inplaces included on the page are toggled to editor mode. I think that they shouldn't be toggled since validation for each input is performed when you accept editor for this input.
It looks awful, especially that I have a lot of inplaces.
I would like to disable toggling of each inplace editor when validation fails. Does anyone have an idea of how to solve this problem?
