Hi,

I have a class-level annotation of a List of the same contraint, like this:
@IfFieldHasValueThenFilled.List(
{
@IfFieldHasValueThenFilled(field = "salutation", value = "company", mustBeFilled = "company"),
@IfFieldHasValueThenFilled(field = "salutation", value = "company", mustBeFilled = "ustIDNumber"),
@IfFieldHasValueThenFilled(field = "salutation", value = "company", mustBeFilled = "taxNumber",
})

The constraint gets validated as intended, with the message read from the key IfFieldHasValueThenFilled.myBeanName

However, I'd like to set individual messages for the 3 constraints of the list - e.g. if company is not filled, show a different message then when taxNumber is not filled.

Is that possible? If so, how?

I have tried setting a message with the individual constraints (like @IfFieldHasValueThenFilled(field = "salutation", value = "company", mustBeFilled = "company", message = "${companymessage}"), but it does not work, it always shows the message for the costraint annotation type.
(I use the validator in a spring mvc application, and use a custom class declared as a spring MessageSource)

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Elmar,

could you complete your example with the implementation of IfFieldHasValueThenFilled and how you use it. Also which message exactly do you get? using the message parameter in each constraint is the right approach imo.

Maybe you can even create a testcase?
