Hi all,

If the attribute changed to readonly="false" then the values are not getting displayed in the text boxes

hi Naveen Gupta

please find the below code

<h:inputText id="dateOfBirth" value="#{CustomerBean.dateOfBirth}" size="12" readonly="true"/>
if this date field is made as readonly="true". Null is reflecting after clicking the submit button even we give date in the field. If this is not set to readonly="true" the date values which i entered is coming sucessfully.

the below tag is not set to readonly. But i am trying to redering the values when some dropwown event is fired using ajax tag. but the values are not appearing in ths field. If i made this as readonly="true" then the values are getting renderd sucessfully and appering in the text box.
<h:inputText id="areaCode1" value="#{retailCustomerBackingBean.addressInfoBackingBean.contactInfoBackingBean.areaCode1}"/>

this is the ajax tag I used to rerender the values when the action is fired on dropdown component.
<a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="areaCode1"/>

please give me the solution
