How to customize FacesMessages created by bean validation annotations?

Is there an easy way to customize FacesMessages that are created by bean validation annotations?

In my case I'm using:

import javax.validation.constraints.NotNull;

@NotNull (message = "Date is required!")
private Date date;

The message is being added to the facescontext correctly, but my message is both summary and detail at the same time, so it's displayed twice. How can I avoid that behavior?

Edit: Solution found

I found a solution as follows:

I'm using p:growl to display my facesMessages. Using the showSummary tag allows to hide the summary text. For sure, the tag supports EL, so it is asking a bean for the boolean value. The job is done by method

public boolean isShowSummary(){
   return ! facesContext.isValidationFailed();
}
