I have a command button (a Cancel button to be specific) that I want to bypass the validation of some components on my page. When I have immediate="true" set on my command button, the update attribute does not work. By "not work" I mean that the values on :centerForm:p_definition do not reset to what they should be. If I select an item from a dropdown or enter data into an input text, the information should disappear when clicking cancel. Setting immediate="false" or leaving it off completely does reset the fields as expected. Here is the definition of the commandbutton I am having trouble with.

<p:commandButton value="Cancel" style="float: right;"
    immediate="true"
    actionListener="#{manageBomPropHandler.doCancel()}"
    update=":centerForm:p_definition"/>

Is that the expected behavior from immediate="true"? If so, how have you gotten around this for cancel buttons?
