Changing the h:message JSF standard error message

Question

We are trying to alter the standard JSF error message that is output by the tag to not include the JSF rendered ID of the element. So for example:

j_id1840598516_6db54dbe:terms: Validation Error: Value is required.

to look like:

terms: Validation Error: Value is required.

Answer 1

Use the UIInput component's label attribute. E.g.

<h:inputText ... label="terms" />
