How to use my own ValidationStrings.properties?

[Martijn Hinten]

Er... This list still for tech geeks, or graphical artists?
Hold your horses, just joking. ;-)

But I do have a question: What is the preferred way of overriding Tap's 
ValidationStrings.properties? I could not find any configuration 
setting, so I sort of have overriden Howards 'getPattern() method in 
BaseValidator, like the code below. I call my 
getMessageFromValidationStrings from within my validator's 
buildMessages() method. Is that a good way to use my own ValidationStrings?

Thanks for any reply,
Martijn

 /** Copied from HLS's getPattern
  *
  * TODO document me more
  *
  * @param override
  * @param key
  * @param locale
  * @return
  */
   protected String getMessageFromValidationStrings(String key, Locale 
locale)  {
  
   try {
     ResourceBundle strings =
       ResourceBundle.getBundle("my.package.ValidationStrings", locale);

     return strings.getString(key);
   } catch ( java.util.MissingResourceException e ) {
     return ("["+key+"]").toUpperCase();
   }
 }
