Validation question

Hi everyone.

I've a question about validation and showing validation messages in Seam 2.0.1 GA and JBoss 4.2.2 GA.

I want to display a custom validation message if a required field is not set. But not by defining a custom text in messages.properties for all missing required values:

javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED=custom message for all required fields

because I want to set explicit messages for each missing property (with hibernate valdation ?). Like:

@NotNull(message="CardId is required!")
public String getCardId()
{
   return cardId;
}

Unfortunately I get the custom defined message if there is no value entered on the screen for the specific property.

<h:inputText id="cardId" value="#{acquisition.cardId}" required="true"/>

Does anyone know how i can see the specific message ?

Regards

Lars
