Cannot display validation error message in a property file

Question

I'm trying to define the validation error messages in a property file.
but I got the default message of Bean Validation.
The build tool of this project is gradle and property files are in the root of src/main/resources directory.

What I've Tried

• Make Sure My Locale is "ja"
• Change "NotBlank=" to "NotBlank.javax.validation.constraints="

Console Logs Around the Field Error Message

How I Display The Validation Error Messages in My Front-end

If there are validation errors, Controller delivers the BindingResult object to this method.

public String getErrMsg(BindingResult bindingResult) {
    StringBuilder alertMsg = new StringBuilder("<p>入力エラー</p>");
    alertMsg.append("<ul>\n");
    for (int i = 0; i < bindingResult.getErrorCount(); i++) {
      alertMsg.append("<li>" + bindingResult.getAllErrors().get(i).getDefaultMessage() + "</li>\n");
      if (i == bindingResult.getErrorCount() - 1) {
        alertMsg.append("</ul>");
      }
    }
    return alertMsg.toString();
  }

And Controller deliver the return value to a Thymeleaf template. template contains this HTML.

<span th:utext="${alertMsg}"></span>

Answer 1

Thanks for M. Deinum's comment, I succeeded in display the expected error message! I changed the method of displaying the error message. I changed Thymeleaf template as below.

<ul class="errMsg" th:if="${#fields.hasErrors('*')}">
  <li th:each="err : ${#fields.errors('*')}" th:text="${err}">Input is incorrect</li>
</ul>
