Your regular expression seems to be fine, to see error validation you have to include the <h:message /> tag inside the <h:form /> tag

<h:inputText value="#{someBean.somePropertie}" id="userInputField">
    <f:validateRegex pattern="[a-zA-Z]+"/>
</h:inputText>

<h:message for="userInputField" />

Remember that you cannot use nested <h:form /> inside a JSF page.
