I think its defaulting to true for me.
Ill have to double check when I get back, though. I haven't added that param or bean Validations to my project.

There's a context init parameter called 'javax.faces.VALIDATE_EMPTY_FIELDS'.
The value will default to false *unless* the Beans Validation API is

already explicitly set).
See UIInput#valdiateValue(FacesContext,Object) for details.
