Custonising validation messages

[NiJK]

I have a web application that has categories, subcategories, and companies as domain classes. When creating a new company, the user should select which subcategory it goes into. However, if they leave the subcategory drop-down empty, I get the following validation message :

Property [subcategory] of class [class Company] cannot be null

If I add

company.subcategory.null=The subcategory name is required

to the messages.properties file, I still get the default message, not my custom version.

Since Company has a belongsTo relationship with Subcategory, do I need to do something else to customise this message?

Thanks,
nick.

Hi nick

I think it should be

company.subcategory.nullable=The subcategory name is required

see http://grails.org/doc/1.0.x/ref/Constraints/nullable.html

I was taking my cue from the error message itself rather than the constraints documentation. Now I know where to look.
Thanks, Jens.

Hi,

I've configured the Mail Plugin via Config.groovy like so:

  grails.mail.host="mail.blueskyts.co.uk"

This is fine and it works, but I can't change the mail server after deploying the app as the config is deployed as a .class file.

How can I get the value of the mail server from somewhere else - a properties file?

What I want to do is something like this:

  grails.mail.host="${email.server}"

and have the value for ${email.server} loaded from a properties file that can be changed after the app has been deployed.
