That looks like it should work to me. I started with maxlength and created my own "length" function. The only difference I see is that I use "key, name, resource" and you're using "name, key, resource." [And yes, my mask validator is probably redundant.] <field property="socialSecurityNumberA" depends="required,length,positiveNumber,mask"> <msg name="length" key="errors.lengthDigits"/> <arg0 key="label.socialSecurityNumberA" resource="true"/> <arg1 key="${var:length}" name="length" resource="false"/> <var> <var-name>length</var-name> <var-value>3</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>mask</var-name> <var-value>^[0-9][0-9][0-9]$</var-value> </var> </field> David Graham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Try: > <arg0 name="maxlength" key="${var:maxlength}" resource="false"/> > > The number after "arg" is the position in the message to replace so you > need a 0. Since his output was "null can not be greater than 2000 characters.", that would simply create "2000 can not be greater than 2000 characters." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
