Hello
I have controller wich set object person to Page scope before render a page

@Name("personController")
public class PersonController {

        @In(required = false, scope = ScopeType.PAGE)
        @Out(scope = ScopeType.PAGE)
        private Person person;

        public void preEdit() {
                person = new Person();
                person.setFirstName("John");
        }

        public void edit() {
                System.out.println(person.getLastName());
        }
}

in my xhtml page

<h:form id="form">
 <h:inputText id="firstName" value="#{person.firstName}" required="true">
    <a4j:support event="onclick" action="#{personController.edit}" immediate="true"/>
 </h:inputText>
 <h:inputText id="lastName" value="#{person.lastName}" rendered="true"/>
</h:form>
                

When I click in firstName the request goes to server but injected person has old data. When I set immediate to false all works fine but I need skip validation phase.

How to resolve this problem????

Best regards
