validation - JSPX Trinidad messageDetailNotInRange for validateDateTimeRange not working

Question

I am trying to override the default validateDateTimeRange message using messageDetailNotInRange as per the documentation.

Despite my code, the validator produces the default error message: "The date is outside the valid range." Can anyone see something wrong here?

<tr:inputDate required="true"
              inlineStyle="color:rgb(0,58,117); font-weight:bold;"
              value="#{processScope.benefit.serviceDate}"
              immediate="false"
              onchange="submit();"
              label="#{mb_ResourceBean.res['claim.serviceDate.label']}">

  <tr:convertDateTime pattern="yyyy/MM/dd"
                      secondaryPattern="yyyyMMdd"
                      type="date"/>

  <tr:validateDateTimeRange minimum="#{bk_ClaimBean.minDate}"
                            maximum="#{bk_ClaimBean.maxDate}"
                            messageDetailNotInRange="The value of {1} exceeds the 30 day limitation to submit claim.  The service date must be within the previous 30 days."/>

</tr:inputDate>

Your code looks OK. You could try a different approach and add message with the key org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.validator.DateTimeRangeValidator.NOT_IN_RANGE to your project's message bundle to override Trinidad's default message.

If you are not using a message bundle in your project you can add it to your faces-config.xml:

<application>
  <locale-config>
    <default-locale>en</default-locale>
    <supported-locale>en</supported-locale>
  </locale-config>
  <message-bundle>
    messages
  </message-bundle>
</application>

And add the corresponding properties file for your message bundle to your application resources:

messages.properties

If you are using Maven, make sure you add (if it's not there already) the resource folder to the build section of your pom.xml.

<resources>
  <resource>
    <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
  </resource>
</resources>

Here's list of all possible messages you can override in your message bundle:
