Hi, I don't know if it was changed in JSF 1.2, but up to this version you have to create a text file called messages.properties. This file stores messages used in your application, but may also be used to replace system messages. Each line is a message in the form key=message. For example, the system menssage for required value is: anonymous wrote : javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED=A value is required Good luck, Ricardo View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3987186#...
