Hi please take a look at MYFACES-1467 which is also trure for UIXEditableValue.java's validate() method.
But the spec javadoc for validate() says: Retrieve the submitted value with getSubmittedValue(). If this returns null, exit without further processing. (This indicates that no value was submitted for this component.) the patch is basicly doing this instead: Object submittedValue = getSubmittedValue(); if (submittedValue == null && !this.isRequired()) return; (it add's the && !this.isRequired()) Why? See the descr. for the issue, since a man-in-the-middle tool can do some funny things. I saw David's demo this afternoon in ApacheCon Hackaton. I think the javadoc for jsf 1.1 and 1.2 should be changed... What do you think? -Matt -- Matthias Wessendorf http://tinyurl.com/fmywh further stuff: blog: http://jroller.com/page/mwessendorf mail: mwessendorf-at-gmail-dot-com
