[jsr-314-open] Ajax validation

Hi all, I was chatting with Alex Smirnov this week, and he pointed out that an essential feature needed for Ajax validation is missing from the Ajax support in JSF 2.0. When you are doing Ajax validation, you need an option to not update the backing beans (in other words, skip the update model phase), so that *if the value is valid*, then aren't saved to the model. I think this is sufficiently important enough to go into the JSF maintenance release. The RichFaces syntax is like: <f:ajax updateModel="false" /> BTW, Ed, any updates on the MR? Pete
