public abstract void addMessage(String clientId, javax.faces.application.FacesMessage message);
Hint: Don't forget to pass the whole clientId (full semicolon separated "path") of your component, not only the componentId.

Hi,
I am trying to develop a simple web application. This application fills in a form and tries to insert it into a table. Sometimes the insert doesn't work because of an integrity constraint error (duplicate value, foreign key error etc). My question is this: in the insert method how can I report the error in such a way that <h:message > and/or <h:messages> will pick it up and report it as if it were a validation error?
FacesMessage instances are created in the Validator and/or Converter classes and then thrown as exceptions. The JSF framework then catches the exception unravels the message and somehow associates it with the correct UIInput component so that the <h:message> and <h:messages> tags can retrieve them and display them.
But I can't find how to associate a FacesMessage with a particular component.
Any and all help will be much appreciated,
Thank you in advance
