[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-824?page=comments#action_12357637 ]
Simon Kitching commented on MYFACES-824: ---------------------------------------- I think that submittedValue will be null only if the submitted form did not contain that UIInput component at all. In this case, validation is *not* required. When the component is in the form, but has no value, I expect submittedValue is set to an empty string (not null). See HtmlRendererUtils.decodeUIInput. > if submittedValue==null, required==true not checked > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MYFACES-824 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-824 > Project: MyFaces > Type: Bug > Components: JSR-127 > Versions: Nightly > Reporter: Dave Brondsema > Priority: Minor > > In UIInput.java, in validate() at line 263 there is "if (submittedValue == > null) return;" > This seems to be incorrect to me. If submittedValue is set to null, then > validate returns without checking to see if required=true. According to the > UIInput spec javadocs " If the component wishes to indicate that no > particular value was submitted, it can either do nothing, or set the > submitted value to null." -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
