The field name in the class BeanValidationBean is annotated with @NotNull. Its message, however, it's never shown because JSF by default passes an empty string (and not null) when submitting an empty field.
Two possible solutions:
replace @NotNull with @NotEmpty
add the context param javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL (BalusC article: The empty String madness )
