Wicket DateTextField custom error message

I am using DateTextField for edit date field, if user enter invalid date (eg. enter any character inseated of date) then in on submit form DateTextField internally create invalid date message based on id.

My code is :

form.add(DateTextField.forDatePattern("orderStartDate", new DateModel(new PropertyModel<Date>(this, "defaultModelObject.startDate")), "dd/MM/yyyy"));

Now if a user enters any invalid date then in form submit, DateTextField generates the message.

"The value of 'orderStartDate' is not a valid Date."

In message 'orderStartDate' is id which i set on DateTextField;

Now I want to create custom message for this error inseated of above message;

Solution

  • The default value comes from IConverter resource bundle key: https://github.com/apache/wicket/blob/77b4df63f44d00e9350068686e4b091f730f167f/wicket-core/src/main/java/org/apache/wicket/Application.properties#L16

    You need to provide a more specific one in YourApplication.properties to override it, e.g.:

    orderStartDate.IConverter=Please provide a date with pattern dd/MM/yyyy.
