Required not working with SelectOneRadio in 3.0.M4

[rubus]

Hi,

I have a <p:selectOneRadio> where the user needs to select one of the proposed values defined by the <f:selectItems>. However, adding the attribute required="true" doesn't trigger a validation error.

<p:selectOneRadio value="#{simulator.simulationData.investmentPortfolio}"
id="investmentPortfolio" required="true" requiredMessage="#{messages.error_portfolio_required}"
layout="pageDirection">
<f:selectItems value="#{data.investmentPortfolioList}" var="investmentPortfolio"
itemLabel="#{e:retrieveLabel(investmentPortfolio)}"
itemValue="#{investmentPortfolio}"/>
</p:selectOneRadio>

When the users submits the page with the above tag on, the error message error_portfolio_required isn't shown.

The problem is situated in the method org.primefaces.component.selectoneradio.SelectOneRadioRenderer#decode where the value null is set when no selection is made.

Later on, the validation isn't performed because the value of the component is null.

The method org.primefaces.component.selectoneradio.SelectOneRadioRenderer#decode should place an empty string ("") when it doesn't find the data in the request map.

Workaround:
Extend the renderer and fix the decode method. This new renderer then needs to be registered in faces config file.

Rubu,

Can you post the code about the solutions that you found?

The workaround that I did to solve immediately, I change the component from p:selectOneRadio to h:selectOneRadio.

thanks!
