To be able to pass data, this field must be bound to a property of one of the managed beans, such as the Request Bean or the Session Bean. Type: MethodExpressionChoose a validator from the drop down list. If you choose (null), no validator is called.
Type: boolean Type: booleanThe most common example of an immediate action is a Cancel button. You make it immediate so that the normal validation and update steps can be skipped, but the action handler can still do whatever is necessary.

It is possible to do more: for example, an application might record the fact that the user cancelled the current operation.
