I was afraid of having to do this. Actually I don't want to override the messages because I want to show them in a summary list at the top of my page.
I just want to mark the incorrect fields in addition. Is there no other possibility or workaround? -----Original Message----- From: Sean Schofield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Dienstag, 21.

You need to override the value in Message.properties if you want to use just an asterisk character. The defaults are ... javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED = Validation Error javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED_detail = "{0}": Value is required. If you check the spec docs you can see the various ways to overload these and replace them with your own.
