[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - back and cancel button on a pages containing input field

My pageflow diagram is shown below. All the "next" buttons on the pages work well but I have a question for the back and cancel button (on the page, but not brower's back button). When there is a page containing input fields, after the clicking the back or cancel button, the validation of the input fields still happened. I had to input some dummy values in order to go back or cancel. This is not natural and how can I go back and cancel immediately without validation? The pageflow is managed by a jpdl file: | <pageflow-definition name="roomBookingFlow"> | <start-state name="start"> | <transition to="preference" /> | </start-state> | | <page name="preference" view-id="/reservations/preferences.xhtml"> | <redirect /> | <transition name="pricing" to="checkAvailability"> | <action expression="#{roomBooking.doPricing}" /> | </transition> | <transition name="cancel" to="cancelPage" /> | </page> | | <decision name="checkAvailability" | expression="#{roomBooking.roomAvailable}"> | <transition name="true" to="checkLoggedIn" /> | <transition name="false" to="preference"/> | </decision> | | <decision name="checkLoggedIn" expression="#{login.loggedIn}"> | <transition name="true" to="payment" /> | <transition name="false" to="loginPage" /> | </decision> | | <page name="loginPage" view-id="/login.xhtml"> | <transition name="login" to="payment"> | <action expression="#{login.login}" /> | </transition> | <transition name="newguest" to="payment"> | <action expression="#{register.startEdit}" /> | </transition> | <transition name="back" to="preference" /> | <transition name="cancel" to="cancelPage" /> | </page> | | | <page name="payment" view-id="/reservations/payment.xhtml" | no-conversation-view-id="/reservations/preferences.xhtml"> | <redirect /> | <transition name="next" to="checkPayment" /> | <transition name="back" to="preference" /> | <transition name="cancel" to="cancelPage" /> | </page> | | <decision name="checkPayment" | expression="#{roomBooking.validPayment}"> | <transition name="true" to="review" /> | <transition name="false" to="payment" /> | </decision> | | <page name="review" view-id="/reservations/review-details.xhtml" | no-conversation-view-id="/reservations/preferences.xhtml"> | <redirect /> | <transition name="book" to="confirmation"> | <action expression="#{roomBooking.bookRoom}" /> | </transition> | <transition name="back" to="payment" /> | <transition name="cancel" to="cancelPage" /> | </page> | | <page name="confirmation" view-id="/reservations/complete.xhtml" | no-conversation-view-id="/reservations/preferences.xhtml"> | <redirect /> | <end-conversation /> | </page> | | <page name="cancelPage" view-id="/home.xhtml" | no-conversation-view-id="/home.xhtml"> | <redirect /> | <end-conversation /> | </page> | | </pageflow-definition> The diagram is here: [img]http://www.ningning.org/images/reservation-pageflow-cropped.png[/img] Any enlightenment would be highly appreciated!
