Security: How to override messages

[newlukai]

See old Seam forum post.

I'm using Seam 2.0.1.GA and want to override the messages appearing when someone logs in. The documentation says that I only have to specify values for 'org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful' and so on. But this doesn't work for me.

Pete Muir asked me to output this property manually. The result is that I can see this property as it should be. So I have to say, the property is correct.

My apologies, Pete, for not knowing how to address a property like 'org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful' (you have to do it this way: #{messages['org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful']}. And not like this: #{messages.org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful}). I'm using the dot too often.

OK. Now I know that the property can be addressed. But how does this help with my problem? My login message isn't shown instead of the one specified by Seam.

Thanks in advance.

Well, it means the property file is correctly read by Seam.

File an issue in JIRA with a reproducible example so we can take a look.

Done.

OK. It's solved now. Shane Bryzak helped a lot on this:

You don't have an entry in components.xml for your resource bundle. After adding the following entry your custom login message works:

   

<core:resource-loader>
        <core:bundle-names>
            <value>com.test.resources.test_messages</value>
        </core:bundle-names>
    </core:resource-loader>

This is documented in the internationalization chapter of the reference docs.

Thanks.

After I got this working, I noticed that the security message is displayed twice in a

<h:messages layout="table" showDetail="true" />

I thought I could get rid of this specifying a detailed message adding this line:

org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful_detail=bla

to my ressource bundle. But this doesn't work as expected. I have inspected the code in Identity.login(), FacesSecurityEvents.addLoginSuccessfulMessage() and FacesMessages and think that _detail is completely irrelevant. Is that right?
