Hi,
I am using Hibernate validator implementation of the Bean Validation spec (JSR303)
I have defined validators at the field level in a class.
This class is used in a different context and I want to show different message for different contexts

For example, I have Address class and it is reused as Business Address and Postal Address and it is required that messages have the label included as substitution like
"Postal email not valid" and
"Business email not valid"

in the resource bundle I have {fieldLable} email not valid
similarly for not nulls {fieldLabel} should not be null

not sure how to achieve that

Anyone ?

Thanks and Regards
Deepesh

Hi,

there are several ways of achieving this. Assuming you have a custom Address constraint, you could add an additional parameter to it, for example an addressType enum. Using this parameter in your custom ConstraintValidator implementation you could dynamically decide which message template to use depending on this parameter (see ConstraintValidatorContext.
