Customize rich:message to remove component ids

[frer]

Hello,

I'd like to modify the validation messages in my application in order to not show the component id path to the end user.

For example when I have a required input, I get the following error message:

The value is required for 'product-edit-form:product-name-locales:0:product-name-value'

I have modified my properties file for the following:

javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED=The value is required for ''{0}''

As you can see the error message generated is very helpful for a developer but for a client its gibberish. An appropriate error message would be:

The value is required for 'Name'

Is this possible? I looked in the variables {1} {2}... but there is nothing in there. How can I customize my message to be the name of the property and not the component id path?

Thanks for any help or workaround on this.

Ideally it would use the h:outputLabel in order to give the user a clear idea of what field we are referring to.

i think you can use label attribute

Sorry for the late reply, I forgot to check the "notify me when a reply is posted" (shouldn't it be by default by the way?)

Anyway, on what would you use the label attribute you're talking about? I don't quite understand.

Thank you

Actually I figured out what you mean: to add it on the inputText and such components.

That was it...I was looking for something complicated and it was so simple

Thanks a lot for your help!
