I have multiple forms on a page, one of which is processed when a specific button is pressed. However I have a couple of fields in this form that I don't actually want to be processed. I have this so far:

In an xhtml template

<h:form id="formX">
     <ui:insert name="formX"/>
</h:form>

in an xhtml file that uses this template

<ui:define name="formX">
    <p:commandButton process="@(#formX :not('.dontProcess')"/>

    <p:inputText.../>
    <p:inputText.../>
    <p:inputText.../>
    <p:selectOneMenu styleClass="dontProcess"/>
    <p:inputText styleClass="dontProcess"/>
</ui:define>

but the last inputText and the selectOneMenu are still processed. Is the syntax in the process attribute correct? Is it legitimate to have a jQuery :not() selector after #formX? Is there any easier way to stop these fields being processed by JSF?

possible duplicate of [How to exclude child component in ajax update of a parent component?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12614882/how-to-exclude-child-component-in-ajax-update-of-a-parent-component) this works for `process` as well as shown here: http://stackoverflow.com/q/14073406/1065197 – Luiggi Mendoza Sep 05 '13 at 21:10
I read both of those prior to asking the question, they gave me the basis for the failed solution above...they dont work for me, I think it's because I'm not just using @(form :not(.dontProcess)) because I have multiple forms – Jonathan Viccary Sep 05 '13 at 21:18
Not sure if is a typo but you have `@(#formX` instead of `@(formX`. – Luiggi Mendoza Sep 05 '13 at 21:19
its not a typo, its the id of the form – Jonathan Viccary Sep 05 '13 at 21:21
I mean, you have a `#` (read my comment again [: ). – Luiggi Mendoza Sep 05 '13 at 21:22
yes....#formX is intentional, in the same way that .dontProcess is intentional – Jonathan Viccary Sep 05 '13 at 21:23
From possible duplicate link, BalusC (JSF expert) uses `@(form` and not `@(#form`. Have you tried this? – Luiggi Mendoza Sep 05 '13 at 21:36
'form' refers to the form you are in...my '#formX' refers to a specific form id that I am referencing...I can't use simply 'form' because I have multiple forms and I'm not actually in the one I want – Jonathan Viccary Sep 05 '13 at 21:39
So you want to process data from an external ``? – Luiggi Mendoza Sep 05 '13 at 21:39
did you look at my example? – Jonathan Viccary Sep 05 '13 at 22:03
its annoying that you have said this question may have already been answered...because it hasnt, and now no one will bother answering it – Jonathan Viccary Sep 06 '13 at 16:42
but nobody vote it as a duplicate either – Luiggi Mendoza Sep 06 '13 at 16:56
