OVF partially works on JSF RI 1.1 with jsp. It works a little better
if you use facelets. However, I don't maintain it, I no longer use
it, and I don't recommend it. If you're going to use it, you may as
well use it from the svn repository since you'll be the one
maintaining it :-)
What is it that you cannot do with subforms? You mention making
required optional elsewhere -- required="#{bean.isrequirednecessary}"
should take care of that..
If you have a specific example, I'm sure you can get help here to find
a solution using subForms.

If I understood correctly with subForm you can't skip component
validation (but not conversion) on a per request basis.
based on the available documentation OptionalValidationFramework looks
like exactly what I need. Does it work with the JSF RI 1.1?
Do you recommend using a released package or should i build from source?
btw, it might be good to mention the repository checkout URL
(http://jsf-comp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jsf-comp/trunk/OptionalValidator)
on the Wiki since it's a bit different from the repository browse URL.
