Validators of h:inputText not getting invoked value is ""

Hi,

I am using jsf api and impl 1.2._12.

I have the following facelet mark up:

<h:inputText id="testInput" value="#{testController.test}" required="false">
  <f:validator validatorId="stateValidator"/>
</h:inputText>

The "stateValidator" is configured as follows in faces-config

<validator>
  <validator-id>stateValidator</validator-id>
 
<validator-class>adc.validators.MultiFieldLengthValidator</validator-class>
</validator>

The validator is getting invoked with no issues when the value of the field
is anything other than "". But when the value is "", the validator does not
get invoked.

I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. Please advise on potential
solutions.

TIA,
Babu

Babu,
I'm no subject matter expert (and from your version number, I'm not  
sure you're actually using "Geronimo"), but believe that you are  
describing the expected behavior when "required="false". If required  
is false, validators are not executed for a null or empty string.
