Hi,

I created a OSGI bundle and use Hibernate validation. Created an annotation like

@Target( { TYPE })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Constraint(validatedBy = MyCheck.class)
@Documented

public @interface MyCheck {
String message() default "{nl.rid.domain.MyCheck}";
Class<?>[] groups() default {};
Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};

and a ValidationMessages.properties file with contents like

nl.rid.domain.MyCheck="Should get this error message."

When I apply the annotation to a class it works fine except that I never get the message text from the ValidationMessage.properties file. If I add a message to the annotation like

@MyCheck (message = "another message")

then i will get the text "another message".

Where do I have to put the ValidationMessage.properties file when I am working with OSGI bundles so that the validation framework will use my ValidationMessage.properties file

Hi,

ValidationMessages.properties should be at the root of your jar. Depending on your environment you might need a custom MessageInterpolator implementation. You need to provide more context to your exact situation for more help.

It seems you need to add nl.rid.domain.MyCheck.message as your key because we need add .messages at the end of every key

The key is up to you. There is no requirement to use '.message' as a suffix. It is recommended, but not enforced. {nl.rid.domain.MyCheck} should work fine as a message key.
