No responses yet for http://www.mail-archive.com/users% 40myfaces.apache.org/msg05876.html . Can I get a sanity check please?
We've spent a lot of $ toward mapping 'business terms' to 'technical items' (like > 400 db columns). More work has been put into a custom tag lib that pulls these data to the UI at run time. Because the 'value' attribute of the x:outputLabel tag does not accept runtime expression values, these custom tags must be placed w/in the body. Unfortunately, HtmlMessageRenderer cannot predict the future in the event of a conversion error. For example, how do I get the x:message tag to spit out "'business term' is required"? Is it even possible to get x:message output to contain the value of a label if it is the result of JSP-EL or a custom tag? The x:message output is set in stone long before these values are determined and it appears the only way to pull this off is to replace my existing custom tag library to JSF enabled tags.
