JSF Error Message Parameters

Question

Hi ,
I am displaying a customized error message by passing parameters . In the reources bundle , I have
javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED={0} is required
JSP has
<h:inputText styleClass="inputText" id="firstName" value="#{bean.firstName}"
required="true"></h:inputText>
<h:message styleClass="error_text" id="message1" for="firstName"> </h:message>
This is outputting "{0} is required" whereas I would expect to display "FirstName is required".

Answer 1

Default javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED has no parameters. Default 'required' validator (inside the UIInput) does not replace any parameters, just because it is designed to use message that has no parameters.
If you redefine the javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED and add any parameters to there it does not make any sense because the default validator still does not replace anything (as designed).
So, if you want to have a parameter replaced you have to write your own custom validator.
As an alternative, you can use the approach shown at:
