Reset input fields without executing validation

Question

I have a Facelets view as below:

<h:form id="f1">
<p:panelGrid id="p1" columns="2"> 
<p: inputText value="Distance Travelled::/><p:inputText value="#{airTransportUsage.distance}" immediate="true"
required="true" requiredMessage="Distance Travelled Field cannot be left blank.."
converterMessage="Distance Travelled must be a number"
validatorMessage="Distance Travelled must be a valid number.."
id="dis">
<f:validateLongRange minimum="1"/>
</p:inputText>
<p:commandButton value="Reset" action="#{airTransportUsage.reset}" update=":f1:p1" />
</p:panelGrid>
</h:form>

When the reset button is clicked, the corresponding method can never be executed due to validation. I can't use immediate="true" on my reset button as it creates some other problems.

This worked for me in PrimeFaces 5.3

<p:commandButton action="#{bean.reset()}" value="Reset" process="@this" update="@form" resetValues="true" />

You can probably replace the "@form" target of the update attribute to a specific component if you want.
