Hi Wolf, try: ctx.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,"Test Summary","Test" ));
<h:messages ... should go inside the form. you could put showSummary="true" in the <h:messages ... (if this isn't the default) you can put your logging level at debug to get alot more information on what is going wrong. -----Message d'origine----- De : Wolf Benz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : mardi 25 juillet 2006 20:07 À : MyFaces Discussion Objet : stupid <h:messages> question Hi List, I'm afraid I have a beginner's question, but either smth's terribly wrong or I have overlooked smth trivial. I'm just trying to display a global message, yet they won't show! What I tried, is: in the bean, I've tried both the "Std" way and the Apache-way (with MessageUtils): FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); ctx.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("Test Summary","Test" )); & MessageUtils.addMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,"secMsg_test" , null); <--> In the page, I'v tried with both "Std" h: & Apache t: ... both without effect: <t:messages errorStyle="error"/> </h:form> <h:messages errorClass="error" /> btw as you can see, I've also tried to put them before & after the h:form-tag. Does that really matter? As I understood, from the moment you add a message, the same page is redisplayed with the message.(/s) This works fine for all <h:message for="ID-of-a-component" />, but I never got this h:messages to work!! Any ideas? (don't mind manners, I'm obviously missing smth basic here :-) Wolf
