Star does not appear next to required fields?

[acgrama]

Hello all,

I have defined an input field as follows:
<h:inputText value="#{bean.name}" required="true"/>

As far as I remember, adding the required="true" attribute would automatically add the red star next to the field in the GUI, to show the user they need to insert something there. However, that does not happen!

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Thanks!

Have you tried using the decorate tag to apply the facelets template to the input field?

<s:decorate template="/layout/edit.xhtml">
<ui:define name="label">Name</ui:define>
   <h:inputText value="#{bean.name}" required="true"/>
</h:inputText>
</s:decorate>

Thanks a lot for the feedback -- I had used the decorator, but had to make a clean redeployment for the changes to be visible in the app server!
