Jan-Kees van Andel commented on MYFACES-2798: --------------------------------------------- The corresponding section from the JSF spec (chapter 11.1.3 Application Configuration Parameters): "... If the param is not set, the system must behave as if the param was set with the value "auto". ..." > javax.faces.VALIDATE_EMPTY_FIELDS default should be 'true' > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MYFACES-2798 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-2798 > Project: MyFaces Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: General > Affects Versions: 2.0.2-SNAPSHOT > Environment: Win XP, JDK 1.6.0.20, Maven 2.2.1, MyFaces trunk > Reporter: Oliver Bayer > > First I thought the validation tags like e.g. <f:validateRequired /> or > <f:validateLength /> aren't working. But during debugging I found out that > the respective validation classes are called if at least one char is inserted. > At the myfaces homepage > (http://myfaces.apache.org/core20/myfaces-impl/webconfig.html) I've found > that the default is "auto". > I think it would be better to set the default to "true" because one would > expect to get an exception if he leaves a required field blank which isn't > the case if it's set to "auto". -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
