RE: JSF Validator on select menus only getting used once.

Is it possible that the validation only runs if the value of the
pulldown has changed?  I think I remember that happening to me.  I
believe that the required check runs no matter what, but the validations
only run if values change.

That's pretty weird.  It looks ok as far as I can tell.
I would also think that each component would have its own instance of
the validator.

Maybe there's something strange in your validator code?  Are you
maintaining any kind of static state?
