I have following code to work with a selectOneMenu provided by BootsFaces. It works totally fine, except that the error message (validation failed) is not shown up. With a <h:selectOneMenu>, it also works. Also with a <b:inputText, perfectly. The error message is simple not displayed with <b:selectOneMenu>. 

<b:messages id="nachrichten" showDetail="true" showSummary="false" />
<b:selectOneMenu value="#{userprofile.user.year}" required="true" requiredMessage="Pls enter year">
    <f:selectItem itemLabel="year auswählen" itemValue="#{null}" />
    <f:selectItems value="#{yearHelper.allYears}" var="year" itemValue="#{year}" itemLabel="#{year.name}" />
    <f:facet name="append">
        <h:outputText value="" />
    </f:facet>
</b:selectOneMenu>

How can I fix, that the message is shown up while using <b:selectOneMenu>?

It's kind of a bug. Actually, you're using a feature we never promised. Funny thing is, I did implement some extra logic on when the required attribute is set to true. That's weird because I prefer the JSF303 bean validation style (and that, in turn, is the reason why I forgot to implement required).

I've opened a bug for you: https://github.com/TheCoder4eu/BootsFaces-OSP/issues/136.

Update 07/29/2015: As of BootsFaces 0.7.0++ (probably 0.8.0), the bug has been fixed.

    Consider the bug solved as of BootsFaces 0.8.0. If you need the bug fix before September 2015 when we're probably going to release the new version, please tell me. – Stephan Rauh Jul 25 '15 at 22:23

    Well, actually I am doing a live-application with BF. Maybe, we can stay in contact, I found many other 'bugs' (and/or missing features) while working with BootsFaces. Well, the workaround is here to use divs with normal Bootstrap classes. It's working fine. If you wish, I can report those bugs. – alexander Jul 26 '15 at 11:00

    Yes, please! I'm scanning StackOverflow.com every couple of days, but you get your bug fix a lot faster when you report the error directly on our page. Thanks! – Stephan Rauh Jul 27 '15 at 19:17
