We tried a hack to solve a similar issue by having a PhaseListener in the beforeRender phase that walks the component tree and modifies it (in our case resetting css styles) on offending components (referenced in the FacesMessages collection).
It's a bit of an ugly hack and doesn't always work: especially in cases where there component tree has not been built completely in the before phase or you have components that behave unexpectedly. But it's a quick fix if it works for you... -----Original Message----- From: Cosma Colanicchia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 21 July 2006 5:03 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: validation method problem Usually the type of thing you're trying to do is done this way: 1) Assign an id attribute to each of your input field 2) Place an <h:messages forId="yourComponentId"> instead of your DIV Now, any conversion/validation error will be rendered near the correct field. Remember also to use an <h:messages globalOnly="true"> somewhere on your page to display errors that are not bound to any particular fields. Again, using the Trinidad input components you don't have to explicitly put an <h:messages> for it, it is done automatically (unless you disable it with the "simple" attribute). About the "required" attribute, I've found the JSF behaviour useful for my apps, but I can understand that is a bit "enforced".
