Perhaps a good strategy would be to add bindings to all the form elements you need to validate and a hidden form element at the bottom of the page and perform a backing-bean validation on this hidden element. You can validate all the values in the bound form elements at one time and as complicated business logic as you need.

I need 1 or several items in a forms to be valid at a specific submit, but as it is only a request for partial change in the form, it is most probable the rest is not valid / finished. However, i need to keep information in rest of form even if it's not valid. Here is how my form must look like: data1 [.....] data2 [.....] data3 [.....] subdata1.... (read-only) subdata2.... (read-only) subdata3.... (read-only) subdata4 [......] [add-subdata-button] data4 [.....] data5 [.....] [submit] when i click add-subdata-button, i need subdata4 to be validate, but textual content of data 1 -> 5 must be kept without any validation attempt. when i click submit, data 1->5 must be validated, but content of subdata4 ignored. I suppose the JSF framework has something for this, but am not sure what.
