Simple validator question

Hi all,

Is it possible to supply the msg element with the value the user entered
in the form as the content of the arg element? 

My key errors.login.email.invalid is: {0} is an invalid email address
So when a user enters 'foo' as an email adres I want an error message
saying: 'foo is an invalid email address'

Is this possible? Here is the code:

    <form name="MailPasswordForm">
      <field property="email" depends="required,email">
        <msg name="required" key="errors.login.email.required"/>
        <msg name="email" key="errors.login.email.invalid"/>
        <arg0 name="email" key="email"/>
      </field>
    </form>

Thanks and regards,

Jeroen

Thanks for your help but this is not what I meant. I've probably not
been clear enough. I do not want the string 'foo' to come from a
resource file but it has to be what the user entered in the html:text
input box and which was invalidated by the validator framework.

So if a user enters 'foo@bar' as emailaddress the error message should
read 'foo@bar is an invalid email address' 

When a user enters 'foo2@bar' the error message should read 'foo2@bar is
an invalid email address' 

Thanks and regards,

Jeroen

Here's roughly what you want to do to get 'Foo is an invalid email 
address':

Make sure you've added this to you ApplicationResources.properties
file as the 'email' rule expects a message named 'errors.email' - check 
the code for it
and you will see.

	errors.email={0} is an invalid e-mail address.

below is a snippet from my JSP where the e-mail entry field is declared:

             <td width="24%" align="right"><bean:message 
key="validateForm.emailField.displayname"/></td>
             <td width="76%" align="left">
                 <html:text property="emailField" />
                 <html:errors property="emailField" />
             </td>

and the associated entry in the validation.xml file...

             <field property="emailField" depends="email" >
                 <arg0 key="validateForm.emailField.errorname"/>
             </field>

other pertinent entries (for the code above) in the 
ApplicationResources.properties file:

	validateForm.emailField.displayname=<span class="formLabel">An 
email:</span>
	validateForm.emailField.errorname=Foo

works great - makes its own sauce...
