I could imagine something like ${validatedValue:FORMATTER:FORMAT} where FORMATTER is the name of a java.text.Formatter derivation and FORMAT a format string understood by this formatter, for instance like this: org.hibernate.validator.constraints.Past.message=${validatedValue:java.text.SimpleDateFormat:yyyy-MM-dd} is not in the past {quote} -- 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
