Hello, all,

Wicket-1.3.0-SNAPSHOT

I'm trying to customize the "required" error message automatically based 
on the field name. The field I'm working with is on a custom panel called 
IssueStatusPanel, and I have:

IssueStatusPanel.properties:
statusDate.Required=Status date is required!

What I would like to have is something like:
statusDate.Required={status} date is required!

Where {status} is the name of the label associated with that item.

My panel uses a ListView, with a Label for each status:

//-------------------------------------------------------------
//Edited down this code for clarity (I hope!)
statuses = new ListView("statuses", new IssueStatusModel()) {
        ...
        protected void populateItem(ListItem item) {
 
                Radio radio = new Radio("status", [radioModel]);
                setupAjaxRadio(...);
                item.add(radio);
                item.add(new Label("statusLabel", new 
PropertyModel(item.getModel(), "cycleStatus.description")));
                ...
 
                final DateTextField statusDate = new 
StatusDateTextField("statusDate", ...);
                statusDate.setRequired(true); //*Here is the validation I 
am trying to customize*
                item.add(statusDate);
                ...
        }
}
//-------------------------------------------------------------

I want the text from cycleStatus.description to appear as {status} in my 
validation.

I think I would want to implement AbstractValidator#
variablesMap(IValidatable validatable), but I see that "required" no 
longer uses a validator in 1.3.  Is there another route I can take, or do 
I have to implement a custom validator that does the same function as a 
required check? Do I need to have a label or label model attached to my 
DateTextField in order to use it as a field name?

I am a little new to wicket's validations, so maybe there is a nice clean 
solution that I'm just not seeing.

Any help is appreciated.  Let me know if I need to provide any more 
information to show what I'm trying to do. Thanks!
