How to display error messages for Standard validators

Question

I am designing a simple login application.I have two input text-fields,say,email and password.
In my JSF page i have following,
<h:inputText id="email" value="#{User.email}" >
<f:validateLength minimum="1" maximum="6"/>
</h:inputText>
<P><BR>
<B>Password: </B>
<h:inputSecret id="password" value="#{User.password}" required="true">
<f:validateLength minimum="1" maximum="5"/>
</h:inputSecret></P>
Now if the user does not enter anything in one or both of the text boxes i.e if null value is transfered to the server,
I want the JSF to display some error message to the user that he has not filled up all the fields correctly.
Even i tried with something like,
<B><h:message for="email"/></B>     
but still it does not work.
I am using JSF1.0 Final.
Well this problem was dam simple with JSF1.0 beta beacause of the existence of <h:output_errors>.
Is there any such facility with JSF1.0 final?

Answer 1

Your h:inputText does not contain required="true". I guess, it should. Otherwize, validateLength will not work.
