Bug with validation or rendering after validation failure (?)
Environment:
JBoss 7.1.1 (Brontes)
JDK 1.7.0_06 32-bit
Win7 64-bit
{code}
17:40:44,365 INFO [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.config] (MSC service thread 1-13) Initializing Mojarra 2.1.7-jbossorg-1 (20120227-1401)
{code}
Below is the very simple test case:
1) A very simple request-scoped bean:
{code}
package test;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotNull;
@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class RequestBean implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@NotNull(message="Input 1 is required")
private String input1;
@NotNull(message="Input 2 is required")
private String input2;
public String getInput1() {
return input1;
}
public String getInput2() {
return input2;
}
public void setInput1(String input1) {
this.input1 = input1;
}
public void setInput2(String input2) {
this.input2 = input2;
}
}
{code}
2) A very simple test.xhtml page:
{code}

6.3 Supply values for both Input1 and Input2, then click Submit
Expected behaviour: No validation messages displayed. Entered values remain in the input field
Actual: As expected
6.4 Remove input value for Input1, then click Submit
Expected behaviour:

Current value for Input1 remain blank.
Previous value for Input2 remain in the input field.
Actual: As expected
6.5 Remove input value for Input2, then click Submit ( both Input fields are now blank )
Expected behaviour:
Validation message both input fields are required.
Input value for Input1 remain blank.
Input value for Input2 remain blank.
Actual ( NOT AS EXPECTED, see below )
