If you want to print out a specific message for the validation, you can
add that to the field, too:
<field property="username" depends="required,minlength">
<arg key="username"/>
<var><var-name>minlength</var-name><var-value>6</var-value></var>
<msg name="minlength" key="The minimum length for the User Name is
6" resource="false" />
</field>

Re: Commons Validator problem
Hi,
Thanks for the reply
The msg I want to print out has two arguments:
errors.min=The {0} must have at least {1} characters.
This would leave:
The user name must have at least {1} characters.
I can get round the problem I'm having by specifying a value in the
resource like
<field property="username" depends="required,minlength">
<arg key="user.username" position="0"/>
<arg key="user.min" position="1"/>
<var><var-name>minlength</var-name><var-value>6</var-value></var>
</field>
properties file:
user.min= 6
I would like to do it like it was specified in the user guides instead
of intoducing a workaround and having to input the value twice. Once in
the resource and another in the validator.xml.
Thanks in advance.
