Hi list, When using JSR-303 annotations to validate domain objects, tapoestry-beanvalidator builds the validation message through a call to the JSR-303 implementation message interpolator, and then prepends the field name. For instance for a @NotNull annotation, the default message provided by the message interpolator is "must not be null", if I apply it to a field named firstName then the resulting message will be "first name must not be null". I understand from the source code that this (the field name being prepended) cannot be customized. Although this works with most default interpolator messages, it does not allow for much message customization, especially for some non-english languages.
I use JSR-303 to be able to validate the fields consistently in the UI as well as in other data inputs (e.g. web services). So if I wish to customize my firstName validation message to e.g. "you must provide a value for first name", I can't do it with tapestry-beanvalidator implementation. The workaround I found is to specify blank labels, but then I lose some nice Tapestry features. Is there any other way I can achieve this? Thx Christian
