Prettifying error messages

[ian tabangay]

Hi. I would like to get the group's opinion on how they made errors being
displayed on ofbiz more readable to none technical users. What I mean is,
if, for example, I am creating a new facility and I did not put a name for
the facility, the page would display (in bold red letters) the message:

*The Following Errors Occurred:*

*The following required parameter is missing: [createFacility.facilityName]*

While this may be informative to us as users/developers of ofbiz, other
users might understand better if the message was:

*The Following Errors Occurred:*

*The following **parameter is **required: Name*

Thanks for any input and suggestion that you would give.

Hi ian,
you can specify error message for every service parameter in service  
definition, using type-validate element. Fo facilityName field, it  
would be something like this

<override name="facilityName" optional="false">
    <type-validate >
        <fail-property resource="FacilityUiLabels"  
property="facilityNameRequire"/>
     </type-validate>
</override>
