default message of <rich:message> for validation errors

[dandii]

Hi community,

I would like to change the default message for the rcih validator.

My example:

• I have the following been (Hibernate):

@Entity
@Table(name = "example")
public class Example ... {    @Min(value=0, message="My Message")
    private Double d;
    ...
    ...
}

• My xhtml page looks like:

...        
  <h:inputText id="example" value="#{example.d}">
    <rich:validator event="keyup"/>
  </h:inputText>
...

The validation works very fine and if I enter the number "-2" I get my configured message. The validation also checks if I enter some characters like "asdf" where I'm getting "value must be a number between 4.9E-324 and 1.7976931348623157E308".

My question is where can I change this text?

Regards,

Andi

Hi Andi,

take a look at org.richfaces.application.FacesMessages. You'll find there a bunch of Message-Ids. Just include the Id with your translation in your messagebundle.

Best regards,

Also various localization available at JSF and hibernate and JSF levels. just check the docs for them

Hi again,

thanks for your reply, my Problem is not to change the localization. The message "value must be a number between 4.9E-324 and 1.7976931348623157E308" is to long for my purpose, I would like to display a shorter message.

Regards,

As other fellows said you must check documentation of JSF and Bean Validation API.

@Min is Bean Validation annotation.

This is part of the Hibernate Validator (JSR-303 refence implementation):

2.2.4. Message interpolation

As we will see in Chapter 3, Creating custom constraints each constraint definition must

define a default message descriptor. This message can be overridden at declaration time

using the message attribute of the constraint. You can see this in Example 2.13, “Driver”. This

message descriptors get interpolated when a constraint validation fails using the configured

MessageInterpolator. The interpolator will try to resolve any message parameters, meaning

string literals enclosed in braces. In order to resolve these parameters Hibernate Validator's default

MessageInterpolator first recursively resolves parameters against a custom ResourceBundle

called ValidationMessages.properties at the root of the classpath (It is up to you to

create this file). If no further replacements are possible against the custom bundle the default 

ResourceBundle under /org/hibernate/validator/ValidationMessages.properties gets

evaluated. If a replacement occurs against the default bundle the algorithm looks again at the

custom bundle (and so on). Once no further replacements against these two resource bundles

are possible remaining parameters are getting resolved against the attributes of the constraint to

be validated.

Is up to you to look for the documentation and do further reading.

Regards.
