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)
-- I had already tried those. (different constructors, different places) To no avail. :-(
you can put your logging level at debug to get alot more information on what
is going wrong. -- Good idea, I'll see what that gives me concerning "messages". Thx, Wolf
