Custom Validation Messages - advanced

I am using RAD 7.5, developing a faces app for Websphere v6.1. I created a simple test application that has a single input field. In the Validation properties for the field, I checked 'value is required'

<f:view>
<body>
<hx:scriptCollector id="scriptCollector1">
<h:form styleClass="form" id="form1">
<h:outputText>This is the junk page</h:outputText>
<h:inputText styleClass="inputText" id="text1" required="true">
<hx:validateConstraint regex="^0-9+$" />
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="text1"></h:message>
<hx:commandExButton type="submit" value="Submit"
styleClass="commandExButton" id="button1" action="#{pc_Junkpage.doButton1Action}"></hx:commandExButton>

</h:form>
</hx:scriptCollector>
</body>
</f:view>

I also created a custom messages file for the 'Value does not match regular expression'  message (the file is called  FacesValidationResource.properties ), and placed this file in the pagecode package, and made the following entry in the faces-config.xml file:

<faces-config>
	<application>
                   <message-bundle>pagecode.FacesValidationResource </message-bundle>
                    -----
                    -----
                    -----
                    -----
</faces-config>

When I run the application, and don't specify a value, my custom message is displayed. However, if I enter an alphabetic character in the input field and click submit, I get a exception as follows:

After further reading, I found that there is an alternate message file for the IBM-specific validation features. This file is in the jsf-ibm.jar and is called runtimeibm_en.properties.

If I remove my custom messages file, then my application will display both default messages without an issue.

It appears the class loader is having trouble locating the runtimeibm_en.properties file once I specify a my custom messages properties file?

Can someone please help?

Thanks,
