Spring mvc: place holders in validation messages properties

This is continuation to my previous post.

public class Student {

         @Size(min = 3, max = 30)
         private String userName;

         @DecimalMax(value = "40")
         private int age;
        
         .....
         .....
}

In my previous post, for the above class, I written the validation error messages file like below.

studentMessages.properties
Size.studentInfo.userName=userName must be between 3 and 30
DecimalMax.studentInfo.age=age must be less than or equal to 40

You can use place holders like {0}, {1}, {2}… etc., in the properties file.

For example,
Size.studentInfo.userName={0} must be between {2} and {1}

{0} replaces the property name
{1} replace the value of ‘min’ attribute of Size annotation.
{2} replace the value of max attribute of size annotation.

Find the below working application.

HelloWorldController.java
package com.sample.myApp.controllers;

import javax.validation.Valid;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.validation.BindingResult;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

import com.sample.myApp.model.Student;

@Controller
public class HelloWorldController {

 @RequestMapping("/registration")
 public String getRegistrationpage() {
  return "registration";
 }

 @RequestMapping("/registerMe")
 public ModelAndView getHelloMessage(@Valid @ModelAttribute("studentInfo") Student student,
   BindingResult bindingResult) {
  if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
   ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView("registration");
   return modelAndView;
  }

  ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView("welcome");

  modelAndView.addObject("message", "Dear User, your details are registered");

  return modelAndView;
 }

}

Student.java
package com.sample.myApp.model;

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;

import javax.validation.constraints.DecimalMax;
import javax.validation.constraints.Size;

public class Student {

 @Size(min = 3, max = 30)
 private String userName;

 @DecimalMax(value = "40")
 private int age;

 private List<String> hobbies;
 private Date dateOfBirth;

 public Date getDateOfBirth() {
  return dateOfBirth;
 }

 public void setDateOfBirth(Date dateOfBirth) {
  this.dateOfBirth = dateOfBirth;
 }

 public String getUserName() {
  return userName;
 }

 public void setUserName(String userName) {
  this.userName = userName;
 }

 public int getAge() {
  return age;
 }

 public void setAge(int age) {
  this.age = age;
 }

 public List<String> getHobbies() {
  return hobbies;
 }

 public void setHobbies(List<String> hobbies) {
  this.hobbies = hobbies;
 }

}


Create registration.jsp, welcome.jsp files under WEB-INF/jsp folder.
