Thanks for the suggestion.
I should add that my application uses Grails largely to provide a RESTful web service. The error message is part of the errors collection returned when validation fails. I then return the message as part of the HTTP response, so there is no GSP rendering involved.
The plugins I have installed are:
geb 0.6.0
hibernate 1.3.7
jdbc-pool 0.3
rendering 0.4.2
spock 0.5-groovy-1.7
spring-security-core 1.0.1
tomcat 1.3.7
I either need to know what is the code I should use for a blank field message to override default.blank.message for my domain class, because none in the original message work, or what steps I could try to resolve the issue, because I'm pretty stumped.
I can change the default message, but as I have another domain class which also needs a custom blank message, I can only put in the most generic error message, e.g. Cannot be blank. OK, it works, but it'd be nice to be able to put something a bit less blunt and more specific to the domain class.
Commenting out the customized default results in the original default being used instead, which I can only assume is built into the Grails code somewhere.

Possibly that some plugin also defines these values ? You could try to search your entire project for the code or the default message you are looking for.
<g:message code="${errorCode}" default="${errorCode}"/> should get you the code if not defined.

Hi,
This should be really simple - I am trying to do override a default validation error message.
I have a domain class called Tree, with a property called name. It cannot be blank.
I have tried many different combinations:
package.Tree.name.blank
package.tree.name.blank
package.tree.name.error
Tree.name.blank
tree.name.blank
tree.name.error
package.Tree.name.blank.message
package.tree.name.blank.message
package.tree.name.error.message
Tree.name.blank.message
tree.name.blank.message
tree.name.error.message
and probably some more, but the default message is all that is returned.
What is more bizarre is when I delete the messages.properties file, or simply remove default.blank.message from it, the default message still appears!
BTW, when I save changes to the messages.properties file, I see the running application copy a file to a folder down in ~/.grails/...
Restarting the appplication makes no difference.
I'm surely doing something wrong - can anyone please tell me what it is?
Kind regards,
Ian Briscoe
