Reset input fields without executing validation

by

The <p:commandButton> processes indeed by default the entire form (process="@form"), you can change this by specifying only the current component in the process attribute.

<p:commandButton value="Reset" ... process="@this" />

However, this will fail if the form is already been validated beforehand. The input fields which have been marked invalid won’t be updated with the new model value (which you’ve resetted yourself). If you’re using PrimeFaces 3.4, then embed <p:resetInput> in the button:

<p:commandButton value="Reset" ... process="@this">
    <p:resetInput target="@form" />
</p:commandButton>

If you aren’t on PrimeFaces 3.4 yet and can’t upgrade to it, you can use OmniFaces ResetInputAjaxActionListener for this.

A completely different alternative is to just refresh the current page by a fresh new GET request.

<p:button value="Reset" />
