Hmm... I don't usually put stuff like this in "packages" but you might
want to use slashes instead of dots. Give it a try and see...

Try adding the 'null="false"' attribute to your <message-resources>
element: that should then give you error messages in the form
???label.body_rq??? so at least you can verify that the correct message
key is being used (you get "???" + the key + "???", along with some
locale information if that's being used).

Your validation config should use the existing application resource
files correctly. I'm assuming you aren't using an ancient version of
anything, are you?

Also, you only have one resource bundle, right? If you have more than
one, I think you have to name them using the "key" attribute of the
<message-resources> element. For instance, I have 6 bundles, one of
which is called ApplicationResources.properties and has no "key". This
contains generic stuff. At some point, the single bundle was getting out
of control, so I split it up and have 6, now. Anyhow, when I did that, I
had to add a "bundle" attribute to all of the validator fields that used
message bundle keys (and whose messages were not in the generic bundle).
Just a note for future use.

Hope that helps,
