Hi *, I've implemented a proposal for "partial validation and model update".
Essentially what I've done is I've given the commandLink and commandButton a new attribute, "actionFor". This attribute is a comma-separated lists of container-component-ids for which validation and model update should happen. So if you have a <h:panelGroup id="xxx"> <h:inputText .../> </h:panelGroup> and a <t:commandButton actionFor="xxx"/> the validation and model-update phases will only be triggered for components which are descendants of the panelGroup with id="xxx". Sounds good? Fellow developers, I had to tweak the API-classes a little to make this happen - I didn't change any signature or so, but I store stuff in the externalContext.getRequestMap(). Maybe someone of you can come up with a better, less intrusive solution to the problem? The only other solution I could think of would have been to implement processValidations() and processUpdates() for every extended component, not a very interesting outlook! regards, Martin -- http://www.irian.at Your JSF powerhouse - JSF Consulting, Development and Courses in English and German Professional Support for Apache MyFaces
