Help on form validation

Hello,

I have the following form:

<h:outputText value="Pesquisar documentos inseridos entre " />
<rich:calendar value="#{gestDocuments.dataA}" datePattern="dd/MM/yyyy" required="true" requiredMessage="Insira o limite inferior na data"></rich:calendar>
<h:outputText value=" e " /> 
<rich:calendar value="#{gestDocuments.dataB}" datePattern="dd/MM/yyyy" required="true" requiredMessage="Insira o limite superior na data"></rich:calendar>
<h:commandButton action="#{gestDocuments.searchBetween}" value="Pesquisar"></h:commandButton>

<br />
<h:outputText value="Pesquisar na metadata: " />
<h:inputText value="#{gestDocuments.metadataSearch}" required="true" requiredMessage="Insira o valor a pesquisar.">
    <s:validate></s:validate>
</h:inputText>
<h:commandButton action="#{gestDocuments.searchMetadata}" value="Pesquisar"></h:commandButton>

How can I validate this? If I press the first button, I don't want to validate the inputText and if I press the second button I don't want to validate the dates. I've tried adding the immediate attribute on the buttons, but that will not work in this case.

How can I fix this?

Thanks!
