By default, you cannot do this. You can't update beans with data if the data hasn't been converted and validated first.
However, you can use the OptionalValidationFramework to selectively skip conversion/validation/update for certain fields. This might help you, but you can still only expect updates for fields that pass conversion and validation. http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/OptionalValidationFramework Note that this framework is experimental. I'm hoping that we'll be able to have a 1.0 release in a week or two, but you'll need to grab it from CVS for now. Your other option is that you can read the unconverted/unvalidated values directly from your components using "component.getSubmittedValue()". -Mike On 10/24/05, Rafael Nami <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everyone. > I know that it can be a silly question, but how can I, with a commandButton, > post a form to a page, skipping validation and conversion phase, BUT > EXECUTING the update bean values phase? > I was trying this code in the method: > > FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getInstance(); > UIViewRoot vr = facesContext.getViewRoot(); > vr.processUpdate(facesContext); > fc.renderResponse(); > return VIEW_ANEXOS; > > But with this the update values phase isn't being executed.
