Hi Rob, thanks for trying, but this didn't seem to
help.
I changed the code to be like this:
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage("body",
new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,
"summary message", "detail message"));
When I put the messages tag in my page like you
suggest:
<h:messages id="body" layout="table"
styleClass="message" showSummary="true"
showDetail="false"/>
I get a "java.lang.IllegalStateException: parent is
null?" exception.
When I leave the id attribute off, it doesn't throw an
exception but of course it doesn't work either.
So I tried this:
<h:message for="body" showSummary="true"
showDetail="true"/>
This doesn't show a message either. It doesn't throw
an exception, it just doesn't seem to do anything.
I know the message is getting into the context because
I can execute this and the message gets printed out.
Iterator iter =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getMessages();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
FacesMessage msg = (FacesMessage) iter.next();
System.out.println("severity=" + msg.getSeverity()
+ ", summary=" + msg.getSummary()
+ ", detail=" + msg.getDetail());
}
I was using null instead of "body" because I thought I
read in the javadoc that null meant that it was a
global message. But changing it to null and adding
the globalOnly="true" attribute to the messages tag
didn't do a think either.
Anybody got any other ideas?
Surely people are using h:message or h:messages to put
out messages to the users from a method other than a
converter or validator.
I'm using MyFaces 1.0.8, what are you using Rob?
Thanks,
Ray
