Re: Loosing global messages when using redirect

[Matt Blum]

The messages are stored in the request object, and doing a redirect will create a new request object, so yes, this is expected behavior.  There is a way to get the filters to fire even if you do a forward, as detailed in this message I wrote on a thread from a couple of weeks ago:

Hello,

We have a myfaces (1.0.9) application which uses global messages
extensively in order to notify the user about errors, successful
actions, etc. However when we add the <redirect/> tag to the
navigation cases the messages simply stop appearing. Is this a bug or
it is an expected behavior? Is there any way around this? We need the
redirect in order to enable proper activation of the servlet filters.

Thanks,

Victor
