Need to hide the field with readonly condition

[rajes...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have one combo select option one is tomcat and the other is tomee.  and its related home directly fields.

eg: combo box: tomee/tomcat

      fields :Tomee home dir: xxxx

                tomcat home dir: xxxxx

when the user selects the combo(tomee/tomcat) the other field(i.e home dir field) should be hidden and it should be read only. I did not find any related condition in the documentation. Can you please help on this?

Regards,

Rajesh

Should the "other field" be hidden or should it be read-only?

That's different.

The other field should be hidden and the codition in it should be read only

If a field is hidden you cannot change its value, thus it is automatically read-only, except you override it in the dynamic variables section during refreshing.

A dynamic variable defined on a UserInputPanel along with a field is automatically blocked from being changed anywhere else than at the panel itself as soon as the field is visible, independently of whether it is read-only or editable.

This is maybe better explained here.

The solution is quite simple:

You can work with conditions. In install.xml, just define variable conditions for the field variable other fields should depend on.

Than you can use the <field conditionid="" /> attribute to refer to such a condition, see https://izpack.atlassian.net/wiki/x/ZIAH.
