B Message Keys for Converter and Validator Messages

This appendix lists all the message keys and message setter methods for ADF Faces converters and validators.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Section B.1, "Introduction to ADF Faces Default Messages"
Section B.2, "Message Keys and Setter Methods"
Section B.3, "Converter and Validator Message Keys and Setter Methods"

B.1 Introduction to ADF Faces Default Messages

The FacesMessage class supports both summary and detailed messages. The convention is that:

The summary message is defined for the main key. The key value is of the form classname.MSG_KEY.
The detailed message is of the form classname.MSG_KEY_detail.

In summary, to override a detailed message you can either use the setter method on the appropriate class or enter a replacement message in a resource bundle using the required message key.

Placeholders are used in detail messages to provide relevant details such as the value the user entered and the label of the component for which this is a message. The general order of placeholder identifiers is:

component label
input value (if present)
minimum value (if present)
maximum value (if present)
pattern (if present)

B.2 Message Keys and Setter Methods

The following information is given for each of the ADF Faces converter and validators:

The set method you can use to override the message.
The message key you can use to identify your own version of the message in a resource bundle.
How placeholders can be used in the message to include details such as the input values and patterns.
