What to show when field fails validation?
Now that I've moved past my last problem... :)
If I have a field (inputText) that fails validation,
should the value that is displayed when the page is
displayed show the original value or the invalid value
that was rejected by the validator?
The behavior I am seeing is that the original value is
being displayed.
I have another numberic field that when it fails
conversion, it still displays the invalid character I
typed into it.
Thanks,
Rob Breidecker

Generally, its up to the renderer to decide that, but I think most of the
standard MyFaces renderers first check for a submitted value and then check
for a regular value only if the submitted value is null. I think that all
renderers should have this behavior, and it should probably be a best
practice in the spec, if such things exist.

I think it should show the value that failed validation so that the user sees what the
failed validation is refering to.
