Ray,
You need to set the client id when adding the message
to FacesContext.
The last line in your code example would be...
context.addMessage("myClientId", message);
Your JSP messages tag would be...
<h:messages id="myClientId" layout="table"
styleClass="message" showSummary="true"
showDetail="false"/>
Hope this helps.
