Hi! I need to find a way to internationalise the error message for a specific property on an entity bean. All the examples I found use static text like this @NotNull @Length(min = 2, message="Lastname has to be 2 characters of longer.") public String getLastName() { return lastName; } I would like to internationalise these message (like the rest of the app) and would prefer to be able to keep the concern of the message within the entity. So I tried this @In(create = true) private transient ResourceBundle resourceBundle; @NotNull @Length(min = 2, message=resourceBundle.getString("person.lastName.length")) public String getLastName() { return lastName; } but unfortunately the message has to be a constant expression so that does not work. Ideally something like this would work, where the message is automagically taken from the bundle. @NotNull @Length(min = 2, message=person.lastName.length)) public String getLastName() { return lastName; } Any pointers would be great. Also let me know if you think I should not have any of those messages linked to the entity directly even though the defaults will always kick in..
