I have problem with this: HibernateValidator is run when value is not empty - I have to use required="true" - OK But, why I have to see the default UIInput validation message javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED, when I have my own @NotNull(message="messages['something.better']"). Is there any solution to disable the UIInput default validation message ? Thanks Mila View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4045185#...
