Ok I figure this out: <h:messages showDetail="true" showSummary="false" layout="table" styleClass="error"/>
I think when I put this in the panelGroup it found the individual messages which I guess are in the detail not the summary (the summary was the same for all of them). Then I used a phase listener similar to the one Hans Bergsten discusses in http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/masterj2ee/j2ee_wk7.html to strip the client id prefix and replace it with my own field name attribute value. Now I get messages in a table like: Created Start Date: Specified value is not a valid date/time. Modified Start Date: Specified value is not a valid date/time. It looks like myfaces is using it's own messages for conversion errors so that instead of the message name for a conversion being javax.faces.component.UIInput.CONVERSION it is specific to the converter (in my case it was) javax.faces.convert.DateTimeConverter.CONVERSION Someone oughta make this thread into a "Messages HOW-TO". -- Rob @objectsource.org ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Rob Decker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: MyFaces Discussion <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, 15 Apr 2005 16:34:00 -0400 Subject: Re: message(s) > The panelGroup fix worked.
