-----------------------------------------
This issue should be solved at spec level, see:
http://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES_SPEC_PUBLIC-939

> javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL value affects
> display behavior for required fields
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MYFACES-3525
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3525
> Project: MyFaces Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.12
> Reporter: VS
>
> Inconsistent behavior for required field validation when
> javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL is set to true
> versus false
> To observe behavior:
> 1. Set javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL to true in
> web.xml
> 2. Create JSF Page:
> <h:form>
> <h:messages showSummary="true"/>
> <h:inputText value="#{page1Controller.firstName}"
> required="true"
> requiredMessage="You must enter a first name"/>
> <h:commandButton value="Submit"/>
> </h:form>
> 3. Create Managed Bean:
> @ManagedBean
> public class Page1Controller
> {
> public String getFirstName()
> { return "Default Value"; }
> public void setFirstName(String value)
> { // no-op (for example purposes only) }
> 4. Load JSF page, blank out value in the input field and click Submit
> 5. Error message is displayed, however the value in the input field (which
> you formerly blanked out) is now reset back to its original value.
> 6. Change the javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL
> setting to false and re-run the test.
> 7. Note that the value in the input field remains blank.
> Behavior is inconsistent and should be fixed
> (javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL setting of true
> or false should not result in inconsistent behavior with required fields)
> ----
> To state in a different way:
> When INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL is TRUE, and you blank
> out a value for a required field that had previously been populated by the
> model, submit the form, you will see the OLD data from the model in the
> field. However, if that field had had a format validation applied to it and
> the user submits the form with a format validation error, the OLD data is NOT
> shown in the field (instead, the submitted/invalid data is shown). The same
> should happen for required field validation errors. The field should show the
> "blank" data and not the original model data. In order to get the correct
> behavior, the developer has to currently set
> INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL to false. But they should not
> have to do this... whether INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL is
> true or false, the behavior of showing the blank field that the user
> submitted should be the same.
