hello, The main issue with your requirement is that at the time of the rendering of the outputlabel, the input text isn't treated yet (because the label is most of the time in front of the input field). So the required property of the input field isn't set yet by the extval framework. (only the information of the view is applied, not the annotations on the properties of the classes)
You mention also the renderer interceptor. But standard this renderer is only hit for any editableValueHolder( like input fields or drop downs). Since those are the type of components we are interested in ( in doing the validation). The labels aren't treated at this moment (see processComponent method in AbstractValidationInterceptor) so you should write a custom renderer interceptor to achieve it. Your requirements is already on my development list (as an add-on) for a few months now but had not the time to start with it. So you need to create (at least) the following items: - A custom renderer interceptor for handling the output labels - A component initializer that put the * in front of it (caution that it isn't done multiple times) - The component initializer should search for the referenced component (by the for attribute) and do the component initialization of this EditableValueHolder. Now the @NotNull is taken into account and the * can be placed. You can also look at the Trinidad support module http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/extensions/validator/trunk/component-support/trinidad-support. It has a label that is capable of putting a * behind the text so it is possible that there is already the kind of solution to your problem. You need to port it then only to the standard JSF (or use Trinidad in your project).
