Hi All, I am developing a application in JSF wherein,i have a text field(which takes date as input) where i am using dateconverter to convert and validate the date using two techniques- 1)Using default library for the dateconverter; 2)Using a custom converter ; In the first case,i get the default message when leave the date field as empty as "{0}: Validation Error: Value is required." But in the second case,i dont get such message,instead i get the meesage which i have written for when the validation fails.I want to get the same default message as shown above if the field is empty. Can anyone help me out.    More>>
