... and apparently a very old one too :-)

Perhaps a note on this page could be included some stuff doesn't work.
When I look at the source of the page rendered, my <h:messages
id="errors" styleClass="error"> isn 't even rendered. (which explains
these msgs are added to teh stack, yet not shown in the page)
But this is weird: in debug mode, the MyFaces output provides this:
" <html.HtmlMessages id="errors" forceIdIndex="true"
errorClass="NULL" errorStyle="NULL" family="javax.faces.Messages"
fatalClass="NULL" fatalStyle="NULL" globalOnly="false"
infoClass="NULL" infoStyle="NULL" layout="list" rendered="true"
rendererType="javax.faces.Messages" rendersChildren="false"
showDetail="false" showSummary="true" style="NULL" styleClass="error"
title="NULL" tooltip="false" transient="false" warnClass="NULL"
warnStyle="NULL"/>"
Yet the "show source" does NOT include such element.
