I\'m looking for a way to place a validation error underneath a HTML

The answer from 2manyprojects works very well but you can do the same thing in the controller. It all depends on your preference and style.

public static Result save() {
        Form
 boundForm = form.bindFromRequest();
        if (boundForm.hasErrors()) {
            String errorMsg = "";
            java.util.Map> errorsAll = boundForm.errors();
            for (String field : errorsAll.keySet()) {
                errorMsg += field + " ";
                for (ValidationError error : errorsAll.get(field)) {
                    errorMsg += error.message() + ", ";
                }
            }
            flash("error", "Please correct the following errors: " + errorMsg);
            return badRequest(detail.render(boundForm));
        }
