JSF (Myfaces) converter resource bundle messages

Question

Hi, does anyone know where I can get a list of the converters used by JSF so I can set a custom message for them in the resource bundle?

Answer 1

If you are asking about the conversion/validation error messages then you can just specify custom messages in your .properties file for the message bundle you have specified .

ex:-

javax.faces.component.UIInput.CONVERSION=''{0}'' my error

Is this what you are after?
