Hi

I have the following input fields in my my search.xhtml file :

<label>Birth date (YYYY-MM-DD)
 <input jsfc="h:inputText" id="dob" value="#{person.dateOfBirth}">
 <f:convertDateTime pattern="yyyy-MM-dd"/>
 </input>
 </label>
 <label>Identity ? <input jsfc="h:inputText" id="idNum" value="#{person.identityNumber}"/></label>

If I enter the Identity No and skip the Birth Date field , and try to submit the page , SEAM is redirecting me back to the same page(search.xhtml)
However if I enter both the Identity No as well as the Birth Date , my action is called and I proceed to the next page.

What could be causing this?
