With the following: | ## Address.java | @Length(min = 2, message = "#{messages['city.message']}") | String city; | | ## messages.properties | city.message=City must be minimum length of {min} | I literally get the message: "City must be minimum length of {min}" when validation fails but I was hoping for "City must be minimum length of 2". I think I might be missing something. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4049934#...
