I have seemingly tried everything.  I put forceId on the <t:inputText>
(which sets the id properly); I tried a validator and calling
addMessage() from within the validator method, which although it is
bulky it did work and the error message appeared; page-level validation
works (an error message appears if I leave the field empty).  However,
it does not work if I call FacesContext.addMessage() from within the
action method.  The error message does not show up.  Is there something
else I have to do???  Like a PhaseListener or something?  Some other
setting somewhere?  I am absolutely sure I am getting the correct id
because I even used a binding property.  I could really use some help. 
This shouldn't be that difficult.  Thanks!
