<h:message /> Error message with JSF Code

[Anand Gondhiya]

Hi,
I have following code:

 
first name : <h:inputText id="fname" value="#{UserBean.firstName}" required="true" />
<h:message for="fname" />

<h:commandButton value="Register" action="register"/>

All the examples I see on web or in the books says that when you hit on 'Register' button with no data entered in firstName text field , It would throw error right beside it. The error would read Validation Error: Value is required . But when submit above page, it shows j_id_jsp_172425500_1:fname: Validation Error: Value is required.. i.e it shows the generated code j_id_jsp_172425500_1:fname: as well !!
Has anybody come across such a sceneario. I am using JSF 1.2,JSTL 1.2 , Tomcat 6 , JDK 1.6

Thanks
-Anand

Maybe assign id for your message? I had problem with dynamic webuijsf:button, but after adding id to button everything works fine.

cheers

The stock error message is really yucky. You can override it (it's a resource), but the override is done for all validation messages of that type, which is also yucky.

In newer JSF implementations, you can assign a label to the controls that will be used instead of the control ID when formatting the message.
