How to disable validators using the XSP.partialRefreshPost method?

Question

I am using XSP.partialRefreshPost to trigger a partial refresh from client side Javascript. I would like to be able to do the partial refresh without triggering the validato

Here is a PhaseListener which disables the validation if required:

package ch.hasselba.demo;

import javax.faces.event.PhaseEvent;
import javax.faces.event.PhaseId;
import javax.faces.event.PhaseListener;
import com.ibm.xsp.context.ExternalContextEx;
import com.ibm.xsp.context.FacesContextExImpl;

public class DisableValidationPhaseListener implements PhaseListener {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent arg0) {}

    public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent arg0) {
        FacesContextExImpl fc  = (FacesContextExImpl) arg0.getFacesContext();
        ExternalContextEx ec = (ExternalContextEx) fc.getExternalContext();

        // check for the "disableValidation" parameter & disable validation
        // if required
        if( ec.getRequestParameterMap().containsKey("disableValidation") )
            fc.setDisableValidators(true);
    }

    public PhaseId getPhaseId() {
        return PhaseId.PROCESS_VALIDATIONS;
    }

}

You just have to add a parameter to your PartialRefresh, and the validation is disabled:

XSP.partialRefreshPost('#{id:refreshMe}', {'params': {'disableValidation':true}} );
