Description
When using the ICEfaces 2 singleSubmit feature (either via the ice core:singleSubmit tag or on an ace: component attribute), the singleSubmit doesn't enforce a "required=true" validation condition if the component is not edited when visited.
If you visit an input component with "required=true", but do not edit it's contents, the singleSubmit is not fired when the component is loses focus, so the "required=true" condition is never enforced.
I believe this can be fixed by adding some smart logic to the singleSubmit feature to trigger a singleSubmit during an input component's "onBlur" event, but only in cases where "required-true" is defined on that component.

The singleSubmit tag has been modified to allow a submitOnBlur parameter:
<icecore:singleSubmit submitOnBlur="true" />
This can be used for server-side validation of required elements (which should actually be performed client-side) or for other features that react to the specific field the user is on (such as an application that updates lock information to show that a field cannot currently be edited).
