Problem with Client Side Validator - e.getFacesMessage is not a function

Question

(JDeveloper 11g, TP2 and TP3)
I have created a custom validator that does server side validation as well as client side validation. It gets invoked - an alert is fired to prove that - but when validation fails, instead of the red box and error message that I was hoping for, I get a JavaScript error:
e.getFacesMessage is not a function (all-11-otn2.js (line 27600))
The getClientScript() method in the validator looks like this:
    public String getClientScript(FacesContext facesContext,
                                  UIComponent uIComponent) {
        return "function GreaterThanValidator(p1)\n" +
        "{  this.greaterThanItem=p1; \n" +
        "}\n" +
        "GreaterThanValidator.prototype.validate = function(value){" +
                       "alert('value= '+value); " +
        " if (!(value=='X')){ " +
        "    return new ValidatorException('Value must not be X '" +
        "         +' (current value = '+value+')');}"+
    }   Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here? Like I said, the validation is performed, the alert is shown. Then when I raise the ValidatorException, the error occurs.
thanks for any suggestions.

Lucas,
I assume that this post is related to the previous
Display client side validation error message with the pretty box
I forwarded this internally and am waiting for a hint. Will update this post accordingly (or someone else will do directly)
