t:inputCalendar "Required" not functioning correctly
----------------------------------------------------

         Key: MYFACES-815
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-815
     Project: MyFaces
        Type: Bug
  Components: Tomahawk  
    Versions: 1.1.1    
 Environment: Windows 2000, Apache 5.5
    Reporter: Hlias Mpalasis


when "Required" property is set to "false" t:inputCalendar is expected to 
accept nulls
Instead it prevents JSF life cycle from entering "Invoke Application" phase. As 
a result, applicaitons cannot continue unless a value is entered in 
"inputCalendar" field.

I placed a custom phase monitor and discovered that JSF goes through the 
following phases in the order specified.
RESTORE_VIEW, APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES, PROCESS_VALIDATIONS, UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES, 
RENDER_RESPONSE. Notice that INVOKE_APPLICATION phase is skipped.

I have also observed that when "inputCalendar" is left empty, the model is 
updated correctly in UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES phase with a null value but 
INVOKE_APPLICATION phase is skipped.

I believe this is abnormal because the "inputCalendar" "Required" property is 
set to false. It shouldn't mind about the null. Besides the model is updated 
correctly.
