Description
See the RequiredCheckboxValidator in OmniFaces for a discussion of the issue:
[http://showcase.omnifaces.org/validators/RequiredCheckboxValidator](http://showcase.omnifaces.org/validators/RequiredCheckboxValidator)
The default behavior in JSF is non-intuitive and causes seemingly unnecessary work to be required in the action method.

Confirm the submission path for a checkbox whose required attribute is true; done means an unchecked checkbox produces a validation error before the action method runs.
