Hello,

I am using Hibernate Validator 4.0.1GA to validate an email address. Here is my code:
@Column(nullable = false)
@Email
private String email;

Here is the error message that gets logged:
"{value}" is not a valid email address

What do I need to do to get "{value}" replaced with the email address that failed validation?

Thanks.

Hi,

${value} is actually not a token which can get replaced. The validated values is not available for message interpolation. You could write your own MessageInterpolator. The interpolate methods in this interface take both a MessageInterpolator.Context instance which gives you access to the interpolated value. See also - HV-358. The Bean Validation specification does not support the value interpolation.

Regarding the message you are seeing now. I remember that in some earlier version of Validator there were errors in the message templates. Make sure to use a more up to date version of Hibernate Validator, eg 4.1.0.Final
