I am using Tomahawk 1.1.6 with JDeveloper 11g-3 and running into a slight problem customizing the inputCalendar control's conversion/error messages. I have successfully followed the i18n type approach (example @ http://www.jsf-faq.com/faqs/faces-messages.html, #126) to get custom error messages for simple controls like input boxes. However, I tried to use the same approach with the inputCalendar but it continues to give me a default conversion/error message instead of my own.
Here are the steps I have taken so far ... 1. Created & registered a custom class that implements the Converter class with its getAsObject and getAsString methods. 2. Added a converter attribute for the calendar control in my JSP page, pointing to the above custom class. 3. Created & registered a message bundle file (per i18n approach) and added custom conversion/error messages for the calendar. The first 2 steps are included because I also wanted to limit what formats the user can enter in the date field. From what I understand, these 2 steps will determine if the conversion succeeds or fails, but to actually change the error message that is displayed, I have to correctly implement the 3rd step. Since I can see the first 2 steps executing properly during debugging, my guess is that the problem is in the 3rd step ... more specifically I think maybe I am not putting the correct key/value pair in message bundle file? I have listed the contents of my message bundle file below ... I know that most of these entries are probably not correct but I was just shooting in the dark and trying out all variations that I thought might work! #--- message bundle file: start --- javax.faces.convert.ConverterException.CONVERSION=Java Conversion message1 javax.faces.convert.ConverterException.CONVERSION_detail=Java Conversion message1 javax.faces.convert.DateTimeConverter.CONVERSION=Java Conversion message2 javax.faces.convert.DateTimeConverter.CONVERSION_detail=Java Conversion message2 org.apache.myfaces.calendar.CONVERSION=Apache Conversion message1 org.apache.myfaces.calendar.CONVERSION_detail=Apache Conversion message1 org.apache.myfaces.custom.calendar.CONVERSION=Apache Conversion message2 org.apache.myfaces.custom.calendar.CONVERSION_detail=Apache Conversion message2 org.apache.myfaces.custom.calendar.HtmlInputCalendar.CONVERSION=Apache Conversion message3 org.apache.myfaces.custom.calendar.HtmlInputCalendar.CONVERSION_detail=A pache Conversion message3 #--- message bundle file: stop --- A similar question was posted in this list in June 2007 but its answer did not resolve my issue. If somebody knows the correct key/value pair to use in my situation, or thinks that something else is the issue, please let me know. Thanks!
