view state transition using EL expression and the validation attribute is ignored

<view-state id="test" view="test" model="testForm">
<transition on="#

{T(my.super.package.TestFormEvent).FETCH_STUFF.getValue()}

" validate="false">
<evaluate expression="...." />
<render fragments="...." />
</transition>

<transition on="#

{T(my.super.package.TestFormEvent).SAVE.getValue()}

" to="...">
<evaluate expression="...." />
</transition>
</view-state>

If I'm using an EL expression for the transition 'on' attribute; the 'validate' attribute is ignored and the model is validated!

I've got a Java Enum for my different transition events to be able to handle nicely different validation based on a specific transition.

public void validate(ValidationContext validationContext) {

switch (TestFormEvent.find(validationContext.getUserEvent()))

{ case SAVE: // do some validations on top of the JSR 303 break; case UPDATE_STUFF: // do some different validation break; }

}

The different type of validations is to manage my child AJAX forms.

The work around for this issue; is to clear the message context on my FETCH_STUFF event. It'll be far better if SWF handles correctly the transition parsing so the validation is not processed.
