To answer my own questions, immediate="true" on the "Save as DRAFT" button means that it is processed before anything else, so the other data isn't even available. Explained in detail at http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/How_The_Immediate_Attribute_Works It looks like I can do what I need by using http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/OptionalValidationFramework but unfortunately that requires significant changes to all my forms that need "save as draft" functionality. -- Dave Brondsema Software Developer Cornerstone University
