Madhav, Try using some AJAX for partial submits and client-side validation. :)

Hi All, MyForm: Mandatory fields on the form: 1. Last Name 2. First Name 3. Gender 4. email There is a section on the page where the user needs to provide address information. Mandatory fields in that section are: 1. address type 2. address line 1 3. state 4. zip 5. city Address section has the following buttons - "Add Address", "Reset" "Delete" Page level buttons are: "Proceed", "Cancel" When the user has entered all the information then the user will click on the proceed button. However, the user can first enter the address information and click "Add address" and then enter a list of other addresses similary. The problem is that when the user clicks "Add address" form is submitted and all the fields which are assigned a validator are validated. So even if the "proceed" button is not clicked fields like "last name", "first name" etc will be validated and will therefore throw error messages on the screen. I want to partially validate a page based on which button is clicked. How can you do that with the client side validators that you have created. Currently I am using struts client validator with Myfaces but this framework does not solve the above mentioned problem. Googling a bit I found the following: 1. http://shale.apache.org/shale-validator/index.html 2. http://jsf-comp.sourceforge.net/components/clientvalidators/index.html I am wondering will any one them solve the problem that I am facing above. ~madhav **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
