The use of buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate whilst using jsr303 validation to validation a class fails to alter the default error message --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HV-297 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-297 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Bug Components: annotation-processor Affects Versions: 4.0.2.GA Environment: Hibernate version 4.02GA Java 1.6 Solaris and Mac OSX Reporter: Chris March Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik Attachments: TestProject.zip When creating a custom Validator to validate a class, when overriding the isValid method it is supposed to be possible to return a custom error message as opposed to the default error message, by calling methods on the passed in ConstraintValidatorContext object. This appears simply not to work I have attached an example Junit test case which shows the problem happening I have included all the associated jars in the zip as I was unsure if that was the correct thing to do or not. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
