bypassValidation

The bypassValidation property controls validation for fields on a JSF Handler.

When the displayUse property is button or hyperlink and the bypassValidation property is set to YES, EGL skips validation for the associated field when the user clicks the button or link. For example, you can improve performance by allowing users to bypass validation when they exit the program.

The value that you assign to bypassValidation is used as a default when you place the field, or a record that includes the field, on the Web Page in Page Designer.

The bypassValidation property affects only EGL-based validations, not those specified by JSF tags; for more information, see JSF Handler part.

The following values are available:
NO (the default)
The input fields are validated as usual.
YES
The EGL runtime does not return user data to the JSF handler for validation.
