Yes, one has to kind of read between the lines using the standard books. On this particular question, the O'Reilly book goes over the summary and detail messages on pp. 126-127 (and warns about how to deal with single quotes in messages). It also explains how to selectively override standard messages. In Appendix D, it goes over how to override standard messages in more detail. On pp. 201-202, it goes over localization of messages.
Core JavaServer Faces provides a downloadable utility class to make looking up message codes easier. The Javadoc at http://java.sun.com/j2ee/javaserverfaces/1.1_01/docs/tlddocs/index.html gives more detail about each individual attribute. Also, the book The J2EE Tutorial (2nd Edition, Addison Wesley) has a surprisingly detailed set of chapters on JSF in general (including messages). - Brendan -----Original Message----- From: Rick Reumann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 9:46 AM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: How to setup and display non-error messages Nice! Thanks. Is this in the wiki somewhere? If not, it should be:) (I still have trouble figuring out where to go for these 'how to' questions. I try my Sun book first and then the wiki. I suppose I could explore the java docs, but was hoping that could be avoided for the basic stuff.)
