I am kinda playing around with extending
org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.HtmlMessagesRenderer. I found the
renderMessages method and see where I would call a new method that would
render the messages the way I want.
private void renderText(FacesContext facesContext,
UIComponent messages,
MessagesIterator messagesIterator)
throws IOException
{
// format messages as text
...
}
I am not quite sure how to proceed from there. Would I list the new class in
the faces-config file like this?
<render-kit>
<render-kit-id>textMessages</render-kit-id>
<render-kit-class>my.package.extend.MyNewHtmlTextMessagesRenderer</render
-kit-class>
</render-kit>
And then how would I actually use this in a page? Is there a good
tutorial/example of how to do this?
