Skip validation when navigating to "Forgot password" page - jsf-2

I am writing a basic login screen with textboxes for username and password, a submit button and a commandLink to redirect to a page to retrieve password. I have set required = true for both text fields and set a required message too. Now, if i need to redirect to the retrieve password page without entering any text in the textboxes, it wont let me. Kindly help.

Any command component submits and processes (and validates!) by default the entire form. You merely want to perform page-to-page navigation. The <p:commandLink> is the wrong tool therefor. You should be using <h:link> instead.
<h:link id="forgotPass" value="Forgot User-Name/Password ?"
style="margin-left: 4.5%;font-size:0.7em" outcome="ForgotPassword.xhtml" />

If any one know the proper answer for my question please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Your components and tags structure is all wrong. Here is how it should look.

<ui:include src="footer.xhtml" />
</p:layoutUnit>
</p:layout>
</h:body>
</f:view>
</html>
The main mistake: layout and content belong in body, not head.
Title and meta tags must be in head.
Template can't use f:metadata. The client view can. See f:metadata doc.
Define content type and encoding in f:view.
There is no id attribute in f:view.
By the way I don't recommend using ui:debug. It evaluates all the properties it can see, and sometimes provokes undesirable side-effects.

This is the result of a snippet from "view source" on the page
<h1>Images</h1>
<p><img src="RES_NOT_FOUND" /><input type="button" onclick="window.location.href='/jsfreg/faces/store/storePage.xhtml'; return false;" value="Proceed to page 2" /></p>

<td><img src="/jsfreg/resources/images/img_coreJsf.jpg" height="150" width="150" /><span>: This link is disabled because a navigation case could not be matched.Proceed to page 2</span></td>
</tr>
The core problem is that I can't get images to display and can't get static navigation to work.
I have tried moving the images/*.jpg folder to every possible location I can think of beneath the application root, under WEB-INF, etc.
I am using Glassfish 4 and Maven.

why growl message not dispalying left side of screen using common layout

In my project there is a requirement that when we change language from Engish to Arabic all layout will be displayed in right to left position.
growl message working fine when i didn't use common layout but when i add this thing in common layout of my page then its still showing right side only..

update="msgs" />
</h:form>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
</body>
</html>
Anything outside <ui:composition> is ignored during building the view.
In your commonLayout.xhtml master template you should add a new <ui:insert> inside <h:head>:
<h:head>
...
<ui:insert name="head" />
</h:head>
Then define it inside the <ui:composition> of your template client:
<ui:composition template="...">
<ui:define name="head">
<style>.ui-growl{ #{msg['msg']}: 20px; }</style>
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="content">
...
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
(by the way #{msg['msg']} is absolutely not self-documenting; I'd myself also rather have used <html dir="#{direction}"> so that you can just use e.g. html[dir='rtl'] .ui.growl selector)

JSF2 built in ajax support error : f:ajax not found

Tried Mojarra - 2.0.8, 2.1.6 , MyFaces 2.0.11,2.1.5
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

The XML namespaces are invalid. You've removed the http:// prefix from them all. This is not right.
Here's a rewrite:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"

<h:head>
<title>Page title</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<h:inputText id="name" value="#{helloBean.name}"></h:inputText>
<h:commandButton value="Welcome Me">
<f:ajax execute="name" render="output" />
</h:commandButton>
<h2><h:outputText id="output" value="#{helloBean.sayWelcome}"/></h2>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
Note that you also forgot the <h:head> component. This generates a HTML <head> element which allows JSF to auto-include the necessary JS and CSS files. In case of <f:ajax>, the JSF-supplied jsf.js file needs to be (auto)included, otherwise you will face a JS error after the page is been loaded.
