h:inputFile required attribute don't work

[Vojtěch Zavřel]

Hi,
 it seems to me, that the required attribute of h:inputFile is not 
working. The reason is, that there is always an instance of 
javax.servlet.http.Part in submitted value and there should be something 
like part.getSize() <= 0 in getConvertedValue() or maybe overriden 
isEmpty method of UIInput class where is basic types emptiness check.

You can repeat that problem just on a simple form with h:inputFile, with 
required="true" without any validator.

    <h:form id="inputForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">

       <!-- inputFile tag to upload file -->
        Upload File
        <h:inputFile id="file"
                     label="file"
                     value="#{inputBean.part}"
                     required="true"
                     requiredMessage="File not selected !!">
        </h:inputFile>
        <h:message style="color: red" for="file" /><br />

        <h:commandButton id="submit"
                         action="#{inputBean.uploadFile}"
                         value="upload file" /><br />
    </h:form>

Testing on Tomcat 7.0.59, MyFaces 2.2.6
