Hibernate: select manufactur0_.ID as col_0_0_, manufactur0_.NAME as col_1_0_ from Manufacturer manufactur0_
Also the moment i add the attribute required="true" it breaks the functionality of other dropdown i.e. h:selectOneMenu onchange event will never fire in case i pick exsisting item from the drop down
But if i add new record without entering the text for Name field then required=true attribute works perfectly by displaying error message and the same screen continues to stay on even if i pick other items from the dropdown subsequently
Any pointers/suggestions will be highly appreciated
