Hi Anshuman,
You could just try something like:
<tr:inputText label="test" converter="myCustomDateTimeConverter"/>
As the message is set in the converter you could use if-else logic or
something similar to set different messages. Note that you don't have to
hard code the actual messages, you can still store them externally in a
properties file - same for the pattern.
Regards,
Magdolna

Nice suggestion Matthias.
But then how do we configure this new datetime converter class in your faces
application.
is it via using something like this:
<converter>
<converter-id>javax.faces.DateTime</converter-id>
<converter-class>test.converter.CustomDateTimeConverter</converter-class>
</converter>
in the faces-config.xml?
One more thing this will lead to the problem of what if I want to display
different messages in different places for the same <tr:convertDatetime>?
Can it be done programatically by catching hold of the UIXComponent and then
setXXX() methods on to the UIXComponent?
regards,
Anshuman

well, at least you can create a custom converter, which isn't really to much
:)
You also could extend the standard datetimeconverter and override the
getAsXxx and catch the exceptions, to throw your own.

Hi,
I just would like to share my findings, after upgrading to the latest
version of Trinidad:
1. -- Overriding
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.convert.DateTimeConverter.CONVERT_BOTH and
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.convert.DateTimeConverter.CONVERT_BOTH_detail
did not work
2. -- messageDetailConvertBoth works, as long as you don's set the pattern
As I understood this is intentional, to only allow customization of the
message if the pattern is not set (I don't know why)
3. -- for achieving both customize message and also set the pattern, I
ended
up writing my own converter. It's really easy, I just extended
javax.faces.convert.Converter and set the pattern and the error message to
whatever I needed. I'm not sure if that's the best way to do it, but I
didn't find a nicer way so far.

Magdolna
