do conversion and update model values, but skip validation?

[Dave Brondsema]

I need to implement a "Save as Draft" button for a page I'm working on.
 I want to save all the data in the model, so I need to convert values
to the right data type and update the model values.  But I do not want
to do any other validation.  Is this possible?  immediate="true" skips
too much.  Can I use a phase listener before and after validation to do
this somehow?  Or perhaps I have to use immediate="true" and then invoke
some lifecycle methods in my saveAsDraft() backing bean method?

Any suggestions?

thanks,
