How does <f:validateBean> deal with this case? For example: <f:validateBean> <h:inputText> <f:validateLength/> </h:inputText> </f:validateBean> Is a bean validator added to the inputText in addition to the length validator? Yes. But we also support <f:validateBean disabled="true"/> (Actually, the attribute name is disable so we should align this). -Dan -- Dan Allen Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action
