The method processDecodesWithoutValidation(FacesContext context) forces all components to execute the Apply Request Values phase and return an error message to the client if a RuntimeException is thrown, but it does not process validation for immediate components.

The processDecodesWithoutValidation method in JSF does exactly what its name suggests: it executes the Apply Request Values phase and decodes parameters without running validation. This is useful for scenarios where you want to process submitted data but skip validation logic. The method will handle RuntimeExceptions appropriately, but its key characteristic is bypassing the validation phase for immediate components.
