Volker,
I need your help again.
How can I check in a JSP whether there is a message for a field?
I get a PropertyNotFoundException with following lines:
<h:form id="loginForm">
<h:inputSecret id="password" value="#{LoginBean.password}"
required="true"/>
<h:outputText rendered="#{facesContext.messages['loginForm:password'] !=
null}" value="*"/>
FacesContext.getMessages(String clientId) returns an Iterator.
But how to pass clientId?
Isn't clienId an identifier of the component?

Michael,
i would prefer Andrews solution, but if you don't want to create a
custom renderer there is another way to archive what you want.
Take a outputText component and check in the rendered attribute method
if there is a relevant message in the context.
But going the custom renderer approach allows to have the message in the
tooltip over the asterisk.
Regards,
Volker
