[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - i18n entity validation message?

[mosabua]

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..
