personalize rich message using jsf2 and richfaces4

Im working on a web application using JSF2 and RichFaces4. Im using rich:messages for one of my forms and I want to personalize the message. the default show me the id of the form and of the component. I used the attriute validatorMasseage but it's dosent work this is my code:

> <h:inputText label="Name" styleClass="value" 
>                       id="name" style="width:220px"
>                       value="#{individualBean.longname}" 
> validatorMessage="My message ">
>                        <f:validateLength minimum="3" maximum="8" /> 
>                       <rich:validator/>
>                   </h:inputText> <rich:message for="name" />

By the way I use开发者_如何学JAVAd the attribute label of the inputText to show it in the message. If I want to do the same thing to a rich:select i can't find the label attribute?

Thanks for any response.

What is the message that you see? You do have two validators there, one is client which will be invoked on change and one server-side (f:validiteLength). Make sure you know which one is invoked when.
