Nope, neither beans validation API nor javax.faces.VALIDATE_EMPTY_FIELDS
are present in my application, yet my validators are being called
(checked via step debugging.) I'll file an issue for this:
https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=623
I'm using 2.0.0-b16
<h:inputSecret id="oldpassword" required="false">
<f:validator validatorId="currentUserPasswordValidator" />
</h:inputSecret>
<h:inputSecret id="password" required="false"
value="#{userProfileBean.newPassword}">
<f:validator validatorId="passwordValidator" />
</h:inputSecret>
<h:inputSecret id="passwordConfirm" required="false">
<f:validator validatorId="passwordValidator" />
</h:inputSecret>
