jsf (richfaces) readonly input text validation [duplicate]

Question

Is there any way I can validate a jsf input text that is readonly but the value is changed upon some other events triggered?

Answer 1

Set the readonly attribute to true only during render response phase. This way it won't be seen as readonly in all other phases than the render response phase.

<h:inputText ... readonly="#{facesContext.currentPhaseId.ordinal eq 6}" />
