Standardize virtual forms

[alwin-joseph]

I find the "virtual forms" feature in NetBeans Visual Web very useful. This lets me have multiple submit buttons, and I can tell it which fields apply to which submit buttons. I can submit the form without filling in required fields that do not participate in the submit button's virtual form, and without those fields being validated.

@glassfishrobot Commented @edburns said: Move these to unscheduled because we need to target them correctly. 2.next isn't specific enough.

@glassfishrobot Commented kito75 said: This should probably be combined with further tweaks in the validation model. There are some cases where you may want to skip validation altogether (whether it's required validation or another form a validation) and still update the model – a couple of JSF Days attendees were asking me how to do this today.

I like some of the ideas here: http://code.google.com/p/commons-validator-ext/
