t:message and summaryFormat

Hello all,

I'm trying to use the summaryFormat attribute of the tomahawk message 
component with the following:

      <h:form id="form" onsubmit="return validateForm(this);">
        <h:panelGroup>
          <h:outputLabel for="textInput" value="Input" />
          <h:inputText id="textInput" required="true" />
          <t:message for="textInput" summaryFormat="You must enter a 
value for {1}.  If you don't, you'll be sorry!" />
        </h:panelGroup>
        <br />
        <h:commandButton action="doIt" />
      </h:form>

According to the web site, this should display the error message "Your 
must enter a value for Input.  If you don't, you'll be sorry!"  Instead, 
I'm seeing the plain old ""Input": Value is required."  I'm using 
myfaces and tomahawk 1.1.1,  do I need to be using a snapshot version?

Thanks,
Rich

I don't know what the summaryFormat attribute does.   Check the source, I guess.

It's on my todo list to expand all tomahawk validators to support a
"message" attribute, which is probably what you're looking for, but
I've been very busy with non-JSF-related stuff for the last month, and
I'm still catching up (485 emails to go).

For example, see

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-801

If you want to submit patches (maybe open a catch-all JIRA issue on
"adding message attribute to all tomahawk validators to store them),
it might speed things up -- someone else might get to it before I do.

So, am I way off base on what the summaryFormat attribute for 
<t:message> is supposed to be?  Is there another way to have per input 
field error messages?
