First off, don't use the OptionalValidationFramework. There's always
a better solution.
Second, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around this problem, so my
answer might be flawed.
Third, I'm going to use a checkbox since I have made almost no use of
radio buttons to date.
A quick test of this code works.
<t:saveState id="required"
value="#{optionalRequired.required}"/>
<t:messages globalOnly="true" showDetail="true" />
<t:messages globalOnly="false" showDetail="true" />
<sandbox:subForm id="requiredForm">
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox
value="#{optionalRequired.required}">
<sandbox:submitOnEvent for="executeButton"
/>
</h:selectBooleanCheckbox>
<h:commandButton id="executeButton"
value="Immediate Submit"/>
</sandbox:subForm>
<sandbox:subForm id="textForm">
<h:inputText
required="#{optionalRequired.required}"
value="#{optionalRequired.text}">
</h:inputText>
<h:commandButton
value="Submit"/>
</sandbox:subForm>
public class OptionalRequired {
private boolean required;
private String text;
public boolean isRequired() {
return required;
}
public void setRequired(boolean required) {
this.required = required;
}
public String getText() {
return text;
}
public void setText(String value) {
this.text = value;
}
}

I have small problem and I was wondering how people get around this...
I have a radiobutton with yes or no as the two choices that decides if a text
field should be rendered or not (choosing yes or no
will submit the page)... Also if this text field is rendered, it is a mandatory
field and need some input..
If I use required = true on the text field, then when the text field is
rendered and I choose the other choice of the
radiobuttons (that would hide the text field again), I get an error saying that
an input is required in the text field (which is
normally correct but not this time, because I am just trying to hide the text
field again)
If I use immediate = true, then the value of the radiobutton is not set and the
text field is never rendered...
I guess this is a normal problem but not sure how to best solve this?
