form fields clearing on validation errors

[Tom Butler]

I am using validators within my form – when a validation error occurs, all the form fields are cleared when the validation error messages are displayed?  If there are not validation errors, everything is passed to the bean correctly.  The issue only occurs when there is a validation error and the original form is re-rendered with all the previously inputted fields cleared (want fields to remain intact so user can correct)?  This is my first validator, however, I must be missing something obvious?   Example validators:   <h:inputText id="lastname" value="#{enrollispbean.lastname}" required="true">   and,   <h:inputText id="email1" value="#{enrollispbean.email1}" required="true">   <t:validateEmail /> </h:inputText>   enrollispbean is a managed bean:   <managed-bean> <managed-bean-name>enrollispbean</managed-bean-name> <managed-bean-class>com.domain.EnrollIspBean</managed-bean-class> <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope> </managed-bean>
