[jsr-314-open] Ajax validation

[Pete Muir]

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?
