I agree with label parameter for validation message, because for some languages the best place of label would be not in front of message ( that is true for Russian messages, for example ).
But lookup for label component seems overhaul, it could get us impact on performance due to additional lookups in the components tree ( implementation should walk though whole tree because input component has no direct reference for label ).

I've run into the same problem every time I get to polishing a JSF application. My thought is that there should be a new positional replacement value in message templates that allows you to plug in the value of the correlated output label. (If there are multiple, the first would be selected).

In general, the position replacements are:

0 = invalid value
1 = example value (sometimes this applicable, in which case the positional parameters shift)
2 = client id

We could add

3 = label value

It's debatable whether the HTML should be stripped from the value.

javax.faces.converter.DateTimeConverter.DATE={3}: ''{0}'' could not be understood as a date. Example: {1}

Hello,

I have a lot of forms to do and i don't understand a point

<h:outputLabel value="client's birthdate" for="birthDateField"/>

<h:inputText id="birthDateField" label="client's birthdate"/>

<h:message for="birthDateField"/>

if i don't set label on inputText, i have an error message like :

formNew:birthDate: 'a' could not be understood as a date. Example: 12/09/2009 instead of 

client's birthdate : 'a' could not be understood as a date. Example: 12/09/2009

Can you reuse outputLabel value if exists ?

Just for information, this message is the french error message when i set a dateConverter on my inputText. (little bug)
