There is a good discussion of that on the Commons-Validator site. If
you're in a web environment you basically initilalize your resource
bundle in an initialization servlet. Check out this link.
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/ValidatorStandalone. If you need
an example of the code I can send you what I've done. If you're outside
the web environment there are a few other things that you can do, but I
will let others speak on that as I have not done that.
Thanks,
Matt

I want to use a resource bundle to generate meaningful error messages,
using Validator in a standalone, non-Struts environment.
What do I need to put in the Java class which instantiates and calls
the Validator, so it understands which resourcebundle file to look up
references like
xml config file:
...
<global>
<validator
name="email"
classname="org.youthnet.ben.ValidatorWrapper"
method="doValidEmail"
methodParams="java.lang.Object, org.apache.commons.validator.Field"
msg="errors.email"/>
...
</global>
<formset>
<form name="simpleform">
<field property="startDate" depends="required">
<arg position="0" key="Start date"/>
</field>
...
</form>
</formset>
...
the resource file would look like:
errors.required={0} is required.
errors.maxlength={0} cannot be greater than {1} characters.
errors.email={0} is an invalid email address.
