Validation not working after clearing the form

[Emili Calonge]

Hi,

I have a form that I use for creating and editing users. So the form fields are all getting their values from #{users.user.*}. When I want to create a user I set user = new User(); and when I want to edit a user I simple fetch the db ans set user to the user on the db.

All of the form fields are required, and most of them have a validator for length with a minimum of 3 characters. The form also has a cancel button, that clears the form (user = new User()).

So, if a user chooses to edit a user (all the form fields get filled with the user info correctly), and then cancels, and then selects to create a new user, the form fields don't validate. It doesn't validate even that the required fields are filled.

Does anyone have any clue on what may be happening?

Thanks!
