[mohammad-noor]

Dear All,
i am using hibernate validation + JSR 303 validation with JSF 2 and RichFaces 4

when i add annotations on my bean attributes, i get the messages from the ValidationMessages.properties on the default (root) package, assume the case as folllow:

class MyBean{
@NotEmpty(message="{Name_Error_Message}")
private String name;
// rest of code here
}

ValidationMessages.properties
Name_Error_Message = The name cannot be empty

my question is: can i change the name of the ValidationMessages.properties to any name i want? if yes, HOW?

Regards.

yes you can, by adding the following class to your class path org.hibernate.validator.messageinterpolation.ResourceBundleMessageInterpolator,

this class must implements javax.validation.MessageInterpolator, you can override the constructors and these two methods :

public String interpolate(String message, Context context)

public String interpolate(String message, Context context, Locale locale)

where context of type javax.validation.MessageInterpolator.Context.
