using non-default MessageBundle with Jpf.ValidatableProperty

[Ture Hoefner <th...@bea.com>]

Hello,

  

I'm trying to get i18n messages for declarative validation of my form
bean.  I can't use the default MessageBundle in this case and I can't
get anything to work when I try to use another bundle.  Is it possible?

 

I don't understand the javadoc for
Jpf.ValidatableProperty.displayNameKey:  "A key in the default message
bundle or in the bundle specified by {@link MessageBundle#bundleName}
that will be used..."

 

Here is my latest attempt, any hints would be appreciated.  Thanks!

 

@Jpf.Controller

(

    messageBundles =

    {

        @Jpf.MessageBundle(
bundlePath=ContentConstants.CONTENT_JSP_RESOURCE_BUNDLE ),

 

        // this message bundle annotation provides the message bundle
that we use in

        // server-side declarative input validation

        @Jpf.MessageBundle( bundleName="decValidation",
bundlePath="com.bea.jsptools.util.Validation")

    },

    validatableBeans =

    {

        @Jpf.ValidatableBean

        (

            type=RepositoryConfigForm.class,

            validatableProperties =

            {

                // name is required

                @Jpf.ValidatableProperty

                (

                    propertyName=BaseContent.NAME_PROPERTY_NAME,

 
displayNameKey="${bundle.decValidation.name.displayName}",

 
validateRequired=@Jpf.ValidateRequired(messageKey="${bundle.decValidatio
n.error.required}")

                ),

 

                // connection class is required

                @Jpf.ValidatableProperty

                (

 
propertyName=BaseContent.CONNECTION_CLASS_PROPERTY_NAME,

 
displayNameKey="${bundle.decValidation.connectionClass.displayName}",

 
validateRequired=@Jpf.ValidateRequired(messageKey="${bundle.decValidatio
n.error.required}")

                )

            }

        )

    }

)

Hi Ture,

You should be able to get what you need by using the 'displayName' and
'message' attributes instead of 'displayNameKey' and 'messageKey'.  The
former two can accept literal strings or expressions; the latter two
simply refer directly to messages in a message bundle.  ** Note that
you'd need to use something other than '.' in your message key names --
the expression language will try to bind into properties through each '.' **

One alternative would be to use the 'bundleName' attribute in
conjunction with 'messageKey'/'displayName', e.g.,

    validateRequired=@Jpf.ValidateRequired(messageKey="error.required", bundleName="decValidation")

Either way should work -- let me know.
