Hi everybody
I have managed to use a custom resource bundle when doing explicit validation like explained here:
http://musingsofaprogrammingaddict.blog ... chive.html

I.e. if I do this:



It works as expected. But, we're not doing explicit validation, this is being performed by both our JSF framework (mojarra) in the frontend, and JPA in the backend (Hibernate). How can I configure these to use our custom resource bundle?

And another thing.. Where does the locale that is passed as a parameter to my resource bundle come from?

All help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards, Anders

Hi,



The ValidatorFactory can be configured in two ways, by using the programmatic approach like the above code or with an xml configuration file as it's explained in the reference guide http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/validator/4.2/reference/en-US/html_single/#d0e1993. I think adding the configuration file (which configure your custom ResourceBundleLocator) in the classpath will work.



With JSF2 and Bean Validation integration it's the client locale (chapter 3.5.6.3 of the JSF2 specification) otherwise I think it's the server locale.

Hope this help

Welcome on the forum Kevin :-)

Thanks for helping Kevin!

I managed to get it working. It looks like it's not possible to set the ResourceBundleLocator in validation.xml, but it is possible to set a MessageInterpolator which in turn can use your own ResourceBundleLocator. As explained by Hardy here:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1004915&start=15

Seems to be working like a charm! Only problem I got is that the MessageInterpolator is not managed, so I had to look up my beans using the BeanManager.

That was my idea but misspoken :)
