MessageContext, MessageBuilder and nested properties

[kevinstembridge]

Hi,

I have a form in a web flow that is backed by a JavaBean with nested properties. I'm trying to add a validation message to one of the nested properties but it is not showing up.

I'm using the following code to add the message:

    MessageResolver messageResolvable 
                    = new MessageBuilder().error()
                                          .source("emailAddressFormBean.emailAddress")
                                          .code("userRegistration.emailAddress.not.unique")
                                          .build();
            requestContext.getMessageContext().addMessage(messageResolvable);

Is it possible to specify messages for nested properties?

The error message is making it to the form because it shows up inside a <form:errors path="*" /> tag, but not against the actual nested property in the form.

Scratch that. Its working.

I've just started using JRebel to dynamically load classes and I'm still getting used to what it will reload and what it will not. I was declaring my nested property path in a constant and JRebel doesn't seem to reload constants (fair enough). A clean build fixed the problem.
