Well, I have found a workaround that is not much of a hacking. The
annotations has a messageParameters that is evaluated against the
valuestack. Since the action is in the valuestack, and it implements
ActionSupport,I can pass a parameter that is a call to getText.
requiredStrings =
{@RequiredStringValidator(type = ValidatorType.SIMPLE,
messageParams={"getText('email')"},
fieldName = "event.email", key =
"validation-error.mandatory")},
and by defining the message as:
validation-error.mandatory = The field {0} is mandatory
email = E-mail
the message is presented as
The field E-mail is mandatory
It works, although is a bit convoluted.
