Re: What to show when field fails validation?

[Heath Borders]

Generally, its up to the renderer to decide that, but I think most of the standard MyFaces renderers first check for a submitted value and then check for a regular value only if the submitted value is null.  I think that all renderers should have this behavior, and it should probably be a best practice in the spec, if such things exist.

I think it should show the value that failed validation so that the user sees what the
failed validation is refering to.
