Suppressing bind with jsf

[bear50]

Hi,
I'm using webflow version 2.0.8 with faces.
I'm not using client side validation.
In my form I have a required field:
<h:inputText label="foo" value="#{foo}" required="true">
<f:validateLength maximum="100" />
</h:inputText>

I also have a cancel button:
<h:commandButton action="cancel" value="cancel" />

And a transition:
<transition on="cancel" to="finish" bind="false"/>

The thing is, I can't get the suppressing of bind to work here.
If I switch my command button to the sf impl:
<sf:commandButton action="cancel" value="cancel" />

Then it works.
So my question is:
Do I have to use the "sf" tag library to make the suppressing of bind to work?

Can you just use the immediate attribute to skip the binding and validation?

<h:commandButton action="cancel" value="cancel" immediate="true"/>

When using SWF with JSF, I don't think the bind or validate attributes of your transition do anything. I think those are when you're dealing with Spring MVC and explicitly setting a model for the view-state.

Hi, and thx.
Yes, good idea.
But it is bad news if the bind and validate functions is just for the mvc implementation.
I was also planing to use the validate="false" on some other transitions that should go to subflows.
I.e. if the user enters something in a textfield and then goes to a subflow. I would like to bind it but not validate it.

Anyone else (Keith?) that knows for sure how it is with the bind/validate features on transitions for the jsf/faces dialect?

And I'm not to sure you are right about that it is only for the mvc impl.
I had a look at the booking-faces example, and there in the booking-flow on the cancel event, bind="false" is used.
