I am using requiredMessage with GlassFish and it is not working. I tried many different things such as configuring a message bundle and resource bundle but nothing works. The stupid default message with the form1:inputText1 displays. There is nothing I can do to override this message. Even if I place a label in inputText1, the form1:inputText1 displays with the default message.

Works well on Tomcat 6.0.18 with jsf 1.2_09 libraries and jsf 1.2 compatibile configuration.

Try faces-config with this declaration

<faces-config version="1.2" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_1_2.xsd">

I have the same faces-config tag but it still does not work. I created a new project on Tomcat 6.0.16 with no luck. I am using the Icefaces Visual Web Plug-in for Netbeans. Maybe this is the reason it does not work. The version of JSF loaded in when using the plug-in is 1.2_04. I am going to try again on one of my collegues PC to see if it works on a different environment.
