Class SkipValidators

java.lang.Object

jakarta.faces.view.facelets.TagHandler

org.omnifaces.taghandler.SkipValidators

All Implemented Interfaces:

FaceletHandler

public class SkipValidators
extends TagHandler

The <o:skipValidators> taghandler allows the developer to entirely skip validation when executing an UICommand or ClientBehaviorHolder action. This taghandler must be placed inside an UICommand or ClientBehaviorHolder component (client behavior holder components are those components supporting <f:ajax>).

Usage

For example, when adding a new row to the data table, you'd like to not immediately validate all empty rows.

 <h:form>
     <h:dataTable value="#{bean.items}" var="item">
         <h:column>
             <h:inputText value="#{item.value}" required="true" />
         </h:column>
     </h:dataTable>
     <h:commandButton value="add new row" action="#{bean.add}">
         <o:skipValidators />
     </h:commandButton>
     <h:commandButton value="save all data" action="#{bean.save}" />
     <h:messages />
 </h:form>
 

Note that converters will still run and that model values will still be updated. This behavior is by design.
