Hi,
Is there a way to skip validation, but still post data to bean? For example: I have a screen in which data can be inputted. I also have a link near one of the drop downs: "add new". When pressing "add new" user should go to another screen allowing to enter a new item. Then when saving new item user is directed to previous screen while preserving the value when screen was left. All my beans are "request scope". So I thought to use another session bean to preserve the data, and when user comes back to the screen, simply copy the data from session to the member of the bean. But, I have a problem posting the data to the bean, when validation is still not satisfied. Any way of dealing with this issue in JSF? Thanks, Guy.
