Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

I have an unusual LOV situation, and while I understand that this probably isn't supported out-of-the-box, I'm having trouble implementing it myself and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

I have an LOV (in LOV mode) with different base display and base value attributes (these match corresponding lov display and lov value attributes). I don't have LOV validation turned on, because I want people to be able to enter attributes by hand in new rows (it's OK that they have to know the whole attribute).

The problem is this: The value attribute is an internal field that will be meaningless to the user, so what they would enter would be a base (or lov, depending on how you want to think about it) display attribute.

Perfectly reasonably, JHeadstart can't deal with this situation--probably for the same reason it can't use validation with new rows. But I'd like to deal with it. The way I'd normally deal with it is change the base value attributes "display" property from "false" to "hidden", and attempt to manipulate it from within UIX. But JHeadstart doesn't like this...the App Generator keeps setting the attribute display property back to "false", saying "hidden" won't work with LOVs.

Any suggestions for how to do this?

Thanks much,
Avrom
