I have a question regarding something isnt working for me:

I have a custom annotation
validation works as expected

Code:

...
@MaxDouble(value=100.0)
private Double someAttributeName;
...

I have a message:

Code:

messages.properties
...
mykey1=... {value} ...
...

this works but prints 100.0 in the message
i want it formatted as currency

Code:

messages.properties
...
mykey1=... {value,number,currency} ...
...

this doesnt work it prints this in the message
... {value,number,currency} ...

hibernate.validator.version = 4.1.0.Final
com.sun.faces.jsf.version = 2.0.2
org.richfaces.version = 3.3.3.Final

jdk6 -> MessageFormat

according to jdk6 Messageformat it should work.

plz help
howto format it

my fallback idea is to:
in the validator override the message handling and

Hi,

MessageFormat syntax is not supported in Bean Validation Messages. As of Bean Validation 1.1 (Hibernate Validator 5.x), you can use java.util.Formatter-style formattings: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/validator/5.2/reference/en-US/html_single/#section-interpolation-with-message-expressions. If you are stuck on HV 4.x (I'd recommend to upgrade to the latest 4.3 at least, compared to 4.1 it has many bug fixes etc), you may achieve the same using a custom message interpolator implementation: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/validator/5.2/reference/en-US/html_single/#section-custom-message-interpolation

Hth,
