We had a similar problem and cheated: we did the mandatory field check in our managed bean instead of specifying it in our JSF page. We did this partly because the message displayed by JSF did not indicate which field was missing. (For layout purposes, we display all of our messages at the bottom of the screen, so we needed the message to indicate which field was in error.) But doing this also avoided problems similar to the one you describe.

Have you found any shortcuts for pulling in and populating the form values? Seems like a lot of duplication of JSF functionality.
