[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-589) Forge-generated searches should always allow for empty values in dropdowns

Marius Bogoevici updated FORGE-589:
-----------------------------------

    Description: 
Can be currently observed at http://ticketmonster-jdf.rhcloud.com/faces/admin/event/search.xhtml

On search screens, Forge does not allow selecting an empty value on a dropdown if the target field is @NotNull ('Type' in this case).

This is wrong because:

a) Prevents users from searching 'all' types of entities (e.g. all kinds of events)
b) works incorrectly in conjunction with the initial page (which ignores the search criteria and retrieves 'all' events'). Assuming that FORGE-587 is worked around, after the initial page load, the 'Next' button will bring back all *Concerts* (4 items), which is not what the user actually expects (they expect the next 9 events instead)
