I am trying to use custom validation error messages by using properties file. I have placed messages.properties file in web content/web-inf/ folder.
NonEmpty.batchDomain.batchName=Invalid message 2.
My applicationContext file is :
<context:component-scan base-package="com.coaching.controller" />
<!-- Enable annotation driven controllers, validation etc... -->
<mvc:annotation-driven />
<!-- Resolves view names to protected .jsp resources within the /WEB-INF/views
directory -->
<bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="prefix">
<value>/WEB-INF/views/</value>
</property>
<property name="suffix">
<value>.jsp</value>
</property>
</bean>
<mvc:default-servlet-handler />
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="/WEB-INF/messages" />
</bean>
And my controller is :
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView addBatch(
@Valid @ModelAttribute("batchDomain") BatchDomain batchDomain,
BindingResult result, HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
try {
if (result.hasErrors()) {
ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView("newBatch");
return modelAndView;
}
}
BatchDomain is :
public class BatchDomain {
@NotNull
@NotEmpty
@Size(min = 1, max = 100)
private String batchName;
@Min(1)
@Max(1000)
private int strength;
}
As far as I have seen in google, I am following the correct approach. So, what can be the reason behind this issue?
