Hi Hermod, I took a look on the url you provided and on the wiki I also read that the 'required' validator is a special case. The JSF framework will only call a Validator if a value was submitted. Usually, you would set required="true" as an attribute on the input component. If I set requied=true on the input component then JSF built in validation kicks in and Shale "required" validator is never processed.
Is there a way to display JSF required validator? or Is there a way to pass an argument to JSF required validator message? sanjay On 3/19/07, Hermod Opstvedt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

When I tried this without required="true" no message appeared and with required="true" it showed the default message {0} is required. Sanjay.
