I am using tiles. So the jsf page is actually
included with a tiles:insert tag. Here is most of the
template JSP. The message would be part of the body
JSP. Are you using tiles?
<f:view>
<h:form id="pageForm">
<body>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"
id="header">
<f:subview
id="header">
<tiles:insert attribute="header"
flush="false"/>
</f:subview>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="menu"
valign="top">
<f:subview
id="menu">
<tiles:insert attribute="menu" flush="false"
/>
</f:subview>
</td>
<td id="body"
valign="top">
<f:subview
id="body">
<tiles:insert attribute="body"
flush="false"/>
</f:subview>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"
id="footer">
<f:subview
id="footer">
<tiles:insert attribute="footer"
flush="false"/>
</f:subview>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</h:form>
</f:view>
