Hi MyFaces implementors,
we've just encountered the following behaviour in MyFaces 1.1.5:
Normally the update model value phase will be executed for those input
components only that are children (or descendants) of the submitted
form. However, if you place such an element (for example h:inputText)
outside of an h:form or accidentally inside a pure HTML form then the
model values will be updated even though no active submitted form is
present for these elements.
I suppose that this is rather a bug than a feature.
Cheers,
Oliver
