<f:selectItem itemLabel="Please Select One" itemvalue="" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="USA" itemvalue="usa" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="MEXICO" itemvalue="mexico" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

<h:inputText id="mobilePhoneNumber" value="#{newMemberBean.mobileNumber}" required="true">

<h:commandButton id="next" action="#{newMemberBean.next}">
<f:param name="stepNumber" value="1"/>
</h:commandButton>

1. Click on Command button Without selecting any fileds validations messages are coming.
2. When i select USA in selectOneMenu and click on command button mobilePhoneNumber is required message is comming.
3. When i select on Please Select One in selectOneMenu and click on command button validation message is not comming and old value (USA) is redirect in selectOneMenu.
