Hi!

Any plans to configure custom messages other way than to overriding the org.hibernate.validator.resources.DefaultValidatorMessages.properties?

The ValidatorMessages.properties feature in the classpath is vaporware. Or is the validator so bad that nobody is using it? (for example it can't validate fields that can be empty (with the exception of a Pattern that defines that, any other validator does not work there)?

And on the server everything is localized, but the hibernate messages are always in english. Same setting as on my client, except of the system locale (german on my workstation and english on the server).

Please just tell me if anybody got something working with that or what do you use for validation? Imho the validator is absolutely useless.

Thank you very much in advance!

Regards,

Anton

OK, after even more googling...:

Do NOT use hibernate validators. They are completely useless (only for mandatory/required fields and one language - you have to set the system locale and patch the jar file)...

Just in case another poor idiot (like me) thinks that this could be something useful...
