PrimeFaces: commandButton's validateClient attribute's behaviour - jsf-2

In the following simple faces page, I am trying to instruct JSF to NOT to validate the input fields.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:body>
<h:form id="createPatientForm_id">
<p:panelGrid columns="3">
<p:outputLabel value="First Name" />
<p:inputText id="firstNameInput_id" label="First Name" required="true" requiredMessage="First Name is required"/>
<p:message for="firstNameInput_id"/>
</p:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton value="Submit" ajax="false" validateClient="false" />
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
When I click on the 'Submit' button, validation does occur. Screen shot below:
I know I have configured required="true". But, shouldn't the validation be skipped as I have also specified validateClient="false"?
What am I missing here?

You need to use immediate="true", perhaps in addition to the Primefaces specific validateClient. Odds are you have disabled client side validation, but not the server side.

Resource library contracts was introduced in JSF 2.2.
You're using only JSF 2.1. This is not only indicated by the fact that you're using version="2.1" in faces-config.xml, but also the fact that WebLogic 12.1.x has JSF 2.1 built-in.
Logically, you've 2 options:
Upgrade to JSF 2.2 (this means, upgrade to WebLogic 12.2.x).
Drop the idea of using resource library contracts. It's a rather useless feature anyway.
Last but not least, make sure your versions match the learning resources and that you catch up the currently available versions. Make sure you learn JSF the right way. Start here.

Primefaces minimizable modal dialog

Maybe I'm missing something obvious - but a minimizable modal dialog doesn't seem to work as intended for me.
Here's what I have:
<p:dialog ... modal="true" ... minimizable="true" maximizable="true">
...
</p:dialog>
This causes a 'minimize' icon to appear at the top of the dialog, but when I try to minimize the dialog, it gets minimized behind the overlay/modal layer, making the minimized item not accessible, thereby not letting me restore it again!
What attribute am I missing? Or is the minimizable="true" attribute not meant to be used in combination with the modal="true" (I don't see the doc stating that, so just making sure)?
Here's an MCVE:

JSF Bookmarkable URL to update ui:decorate value

Need help here. I'm trying to make my current project bookmarkable. My current design can basically be summed up in this code snippet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core">
<f:metadata>
<f:viewParam name="contentUrl" value="#{navigationBean.contentUrl}"/>
</f:metadata>
<h:body>
<ui:composition template="/views/template/template.xhtml">
<ui:define name="leftpane">
<ui:include src="/views/admin/menu_administrator.xhtml"/>
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="rightpane">
<p:growl showDetail="true" sticky="false" />
<ui:decorate template="/views/admin/content/#{navigationBean.contentUrl}.xhtml"/>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
</h:body>
</html>
So I have this template to make the site 30/70 look having the "leftpane" contain the menu and the "rightpane" to display the output content. What I want is to be able to change the output in the "rightpane" depending on the URL sent:
www.mysite.com/projectitle/views/admin/Administrator.xhtml?faces-redirect=true&contentUrl=cont_admin_rapptmnttype
Whatever will be constructed in this url: /views/admin/content/#{navigationBean.contentUrl}.xhtml on the "rightpane" also has a corresponding backing bean to generate the needed output
I'm using Primefaces3.5, MyFaces2.0, WAS8.5
Hope someone could help me out on this. Thanks.
UPDATE:
I am using a p:menuitem to set the contentUrl like
<p:menuitem value="Appointment Type" id="cont_admin_rapptmnttype"
ajax="false" outcome="#{navigationBean.currentMode}" >
<f:param name="contentUrl" value="cont_admin_rapptmnttype"/>
</p:menuitem>
But when I click on the menuitem I get a Stackoverflow exception which, as it turns, is caused by:
<ui:decorate template="/views/admin/content/#{navigationBean.contentUrl}.xhtml"/>
Which is the one I'm trying to update.
Here is the recurring exception in the stacktrace:

PrimeFaces tags not recognised

I am new to JSF and Primefaces and have created a project with JSF2.0, Glassfish v3.0 and Jdk 6.0.Now want to use Primefaces tags instead of JSF tags.
I have downloaded primefaces-3.5.jar and added it into WEB-INF/lib folder and it well recognized into my *.xhtml pages.
But when I try to run the application it does not recognizes the PrimeFaces tags.
for Example:
if I insert:
<p:inputText id="username" validator="#{regBean.username}" required="true" requiredMessage="Please enter Username"/>
instead of:
<h:inputText id="username" value="#{regBean.username}" required="true" requiredMessage="Please enter Username!"/>
it does not show the input box in the Web Application.
Do I need to include any configuration details in web.xml file?
please suggest!!
Try something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:head>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<p:editor></p:editor>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
Also make sure you have primefaces.jar in your path.

InputText doesnt work in dialog with modal=true (Primefaces)

I have this issue, i think is a bug, i have a composite component with a simple inputtext, then i try to use my composite component in a modal dialog, at first look all it's ok, you can type inside the inputtext, but when the inputtext lost the focus and try to type again you cant, even you can't erase what you typed before.
In the issue tracker, there are a similiar problem reported:
LINK!!!!!
But this is with autocomplete not with input (maybe can be the same), but is marked as fixed, and i tried with PrimeFaces 3.3.1 and 3.4-SNAPSHOT but the problem persist.
Im using 3.4-SNAPSHOT
Here is a "reproducible test cases", i add an other input to my composite component for lost the focus more easily from first input.
Composite component:
