> {{javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL}} is ignored during Graph validating.
> Some debugging info:
> Object being validated ({{value}} argument) in method {{org.richfaces.validator.BeanValidatorServiceImpl.validateObject}} contains empty strings ("").
> Expected behavior: There should be nulls in properties, because interpreting empty strings as null is enabled.
> This causes validation to not pass.
> Something has changed in _jasper-el_ in Tomcat 8.0.8 which I updated recently from 8.0.5. If I replace _jasper-el.jar_ from Tomcat 8.0.5, everything works.
> Tomcat bug or RF bug?
> Edit:
> It's definitely JSF/RF's issue. Tomcat EL has changed to meet EL spec.

> Edit:
> Simple project for reproducing the issue attached (rf-demo.zip).
> - Build WAR with Maven (3.2.1 tested)

> - Place WAR into webapps

> - Open http://localhost:8080/rf-demo-1.0-SNAPSHOT
