Ok, found a way to do what I want. Both buttons for my form do setDefaultFormProcessing(false)
I subclass Form and add a boolean attribute called bypassValidation with the appropriate getters and setters. I also override process() with my own method that duplicates the original method, except the if clause is now if (hasError() && bypassValidation==false) In the OnSubmit() methods for my Buttons get the form and set the the bypassValidation attribute. Now I call process() and let the form update my model. Finally for the "Save and Exit" button I clear the FeedbackMessages since it still gets populated with any validation errors. At this point the form and model are at the same state I would get from the the normal validation process.
