Michael Kurz commented on MYFACES-2798:
---------------------------------------

This is not so easy, as "auto" is the explicit default value according to the JSF 2.0 spec (sec 11.2).

>             Project: MyFaces Core
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: General
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.2-SNAPSHOT
>         Environment: Win XP, JDK 1.6.0.20, Maven 2.2.1, MyFaces trunk 
>            Reporter: Oliver Bayer

> First I thought the validation tags like e.g. <f:validateRequired /> or <f:validateLength /> aren't working. But during debugging I found out that the respective validation classes are called if at least one char is inserted.
> At the myfaces homepage (http://myfaces.apache.org/core20/myfaces-impl/webconfig.html) I've found that the default is "auto".
> I think it would be better to set the default to "true" because one would expect to get an exception if he leaves a required field blank which isn't the case if it's set to "auto".
