This often happens when the mask validator is being used, so you can explain what pattern the regular expression expects. The key for the message is given in a msg element. Since more than one validator may be used by a field, the name of the validator is included as the msg element's name attribute...

Based on the following... <field property="codeType" depends="required, maxlength"> <msg name="required" key="errors.required" /> <msg name="maxlength" key="errors.maxlength"/> <arg0 key="Code Type" resource="false"/> <arg1 name="maxlength" key="${var:maxlength}" resource="false"/> <var> <var-name>maxlength</var-name> <var-value>20</var-value> </var> </field> Try this in your own... Change: <msg name="testmsg" To: <msg name="salutation" -----Original Message----- From: Albrecht Leiprecht [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 2:23 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: Validator...the 1001st question... Hi all, I'm curious ... shouldn't it be possible to override the default error message assigned to a validator rule ? Here's the example: validator.xml [...] <field depends="validwhen" property="salutation"> <msg name="testmsg" key="error.saluation.makechoice"/> <arg key="label.salutation" position="0"/> <var> <var-name>test</var-name> <var-value>(*this* != "u")</var-value> </var> </field> [...] validator-rules.xml [...] <validator name="validwhen" msg="errors.required" classname="org.apache.struts.validator.validwhen.ValidWhen" method="validateValidWhen" methodParams="java.lang.Object, org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction, org.apache.commons.validator.Field, org.apache.struts.action.ActionMessages, org.apache.commons.validator.Validator, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"/> [...] I understand, that the "errors.required" is the default msg. And thats exactly what gets shown in case of an error. Am I stupid or shouldn't it show "error.saluation.makechoice" instead ?? scratching his head albi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
