Parameter replacement in Hibernate Validator messages

[joblini]

Is it possible to include the label associated with the input in resource bundle messages?

For example, for a JSF validation, {0} is replaced by the value of the label corresponding to the input

javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED={0} : Value is required

However, this does not seem to work for Hibernator Validator messages.  EL expressions can be used, but is there an  EL expression that corresponds to the value of the label for the input?

I have searched this forum and the Seam Jira, and found JBSEAM-1262, which seems to be for a similar requirement.

Any help or suggestions for a workaround would be greatly appreciated!

I have managed to personalize the message somewhat, by using EL in the message bundle:

messages.properties:

validator.email=#{messages['label.EMAIL']} : not a well-formed email address

Then, I define the lable in another resource bundle associated with the view:

ClientEdit.properties:

label.EMAIL=Client Email

This approach won't work if the same validation is used for two or more fields on the same page.

Can anyone help me with this?  JSF and Struts/Tiles support this out of the box.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, thanks for your reply.

If I understand correctly, you are not saying RTFM, but rather, that the solution is to write a custom interpolator?  I was hoping that Seam might support this use case out of the box, that is, to include the label for an input in the error messages, as JSF does.  I am referring to the {0} parameter in a JSF resource bundle message for a validation error.

Thanks!

PS  Keep up the great work on Seam, looking forward to 2.1CR :-)
