Is it possible to replace the "Value is invalid, it does not match the correct pattern" with customized message?
There is no way to change this message to a custom one without writing custom code or changing the language files.
What you can do however to make the field more user friendly, is adding a description to the field that explains the expected formatting of the field.

Here is my problem: I add a message to ModelError with addModelError(String.Empty,”My message”).
In my view I just call #Html.ValidationSummary().
The message is in German and the characters Ö, Ä, Ü are just shown as questionmark. How do I change that?
As I see it there are two options. One option is to write a custom validation summary helper which doesn't HTML encode the messages like described in the link that Kartikeya Khosla provided. Or, and that’s what I did, Just use the Unicode reference in the message string. The solution in Kartikeya is more elegant, but in my case it is a lot of code to change two characters. By the way here a link to look them up if anybody wants to do the same:
http://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?utf8=oct&unicodeinhtml=dec&htmlent=1
In my struts2 application I have field named carrierNo that accepts integer, when i put string in it gives me this validation error message:
*Invalid field value for field "carrierNo".*
i can customize this error message in the properties file like this
invalid.fieldvalue.carrierNo=this field does not accept characters
but i don't want to write a customized message for every non String field in my web application, i want to make it general, i tried the following but it did not work
invalid.fieldvalue.%{getText(fieldName)}=this field does not accept characters
if there is no way to make general, please help me disable this message at all.
then i will use converstion field validator with single message that i define in the properties file.
so my request is to help me make this invalid.fieldvalue.carrierNo general something like this form invalid.fieldvalue.%{getText(fieldName)}
or disable the display of this error message Invalid field value for field "carrierNo".
You could create your own implementation of ConversionErrorInterceptor which finds out the class of failed field and gets your custom message.
Edit:
See source code for ConversionErrorInterceptor. For example you could do something like this in your custom interceptor inside intercept method
// get field by name from action
Field f = invocation.getAction().getClass().getDeclaredField(propertyName);
// get type of field
Class clz = f.getType();
String message = LocalizedTextUtil.findDefaultText(XWorkMessages.DEFAULT_INVALID_FIELDVALUE + "." + clz,
invocationContext.getLocale());
And in your messages.properties file put xwork.default.invalid.fieldvalue.int, xwork.default.invalid.fieldvalue.float, etc.
The easiest way to remove conversion messages is to remove the "conversionError" interceptor from your default stack. One problem with removing it, however, is that IIRC it's also responsible for putting the original (non-converted) value back into fields instead of having them replaced by the value of the failed conversion. This can lead to an unpleasant user experience, IMO.
Making a "... does not accept characters" conversion error message doesn't feel right: conversion errors encompass the entire application, and characters may not be the reason for a conversion error.
I have a basic form that asks the user to enter some text in a regular html input control and I am also using jquery-tokeninput to allow users to choose tags from a pre-filled list.
One of the tags in the pre-filled list happens to be the word café, which I have got from the server and populating the tag list by calling
mytaglist.push({id: 'café', name: 'café'});
The problem is that when they attempt to enter a word like 'café' as a tag, asp.net mvc rejects the input saying that:
A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (articleTags="café").
Inspection using firebug shows my post data to be something like:
UserName=neo&category=&Title=caf%C3%A9&Text=sometext&articleTags=caf%26%23233%3B&IsAgreedTerms=true
As you can see, Title has value caf%C3%A9 which is correct but articleTags has value caf%26%23233%3B which I was not expecting.
I absolutely need to make sure that café (and not some encoded value) appears on the screen.
How can I make sure that I send the correct post data and still display café everytime?
Should I change how my server sends the text?
sending the data via Html.Raw solves the problem..
I have extended the pages table with one text field named TypoScript.
My intention was to use this field in TMENUs so that I can display arbitrary content as — for example — a dropdown for that page.
I know how to parse and output TypoScript in an extension, but I'm not sure if there's a way to do that in TypoScript alone.
So, in summary: Is it possible to have a TypoScript string and parse and output it in TypoScript?
You have to use a user function for that.
To be more specific, you have to use either the USER or the USER_INT content object.
The following question was posted in other forum, but there was no response, I am facing the same problem and I think it will get some answers here :
Question :
I am making use of the SharePoint 2007 GetListItems web service to programatically retrieve all documents within a document library. However, my program is throwing an Exception due to an invalid character contained within the XML response. The bad data is within the Word document itself. There are control characters within the Comments section of the document properties. The bad characters are then ending up as in the ows_MetaInfo field in the XML output which is invalid.
I have no need for the ows_MetaInfo field and so I have been trying to use the viewFields parameter to specify which fields to return along with setting the query option IncludeMandatoryColumns to false but the ows_MetaInfo field is always returned.
Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the ows_MetaInfo field from the output or somehow handle these invalid characters that are appearing in the XML output
In my case (SharePoint 2010) this solved the problem:
<soap:viewFields>
<ViewFields Properties="True">
<FieldRef Name="MetaInfo" Property="ModifiedBy" />
<FieldRef Name="ID" />
<FieldRef Name="LinkFilename" />
</ViewFields>
</soap:viewFields>
This works for me to exclude the ows_MetaInfo field:
<soap:GetListItems>
<soap:listName>{....}</soap:listName>
<soap:viewFields>
<ViewFields Properties="True">
<FieldRef Name="*"/>
<FieldRef Name="MetaInfo"/>
</ViewFields>
</soap:viewFields>
</soap:GetListItems>
See also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd964860(v=office.12).aspx
There are no way to remove this field from the output, or at least none that I've found.
The MSDN documentation says that even if you set the IncludeMandatoryColumns to false, it will returns some mandatory fields.
I think your best option here is to fill a bug report to Microsoft, saying that invalid characters are put inside the ows_MetaInfo field.
Another thing you can try, but I don't know if it will resolve the problem it setting the Properties attribute of the ViewFields element to TRUE.
<ViewFields Properties="TRUE">your fieldrefs</ViewFields>
