I've run into the same problem every time I get to polishing a JSF application. My thought is that there should be a new positional replacement value in message templates that allows you to plug in the value of the correlated output label. (If there are multiple, the first would be selected).<br>
<br>In general, the position replacements are:<br><br>0 = invalid value<br>1 = example value (sometimes this applicable, in which case the positional parameters shift)<br>2 = client id<br><br>We could add<br><br>3 = label value<br>
<br> It's debatable whether the HTML should be stripped from the value.<br><br>javax.faces.converter.DateTimeConverter.DATE={3}: ''{0}'' could not be understood as a date. Example: {1}<br><br>-Dan<br><br>
