I think the issue is around adding to the flash messenger and then
retrieving the message at the end of the same request (no refresh).
I'm having a similar issue where we use the flash messenger to store
messages and then try to retrieve them during the same request.
Sometimes the application needs to re-direct and sometimes not so the
flash messenger seemed the appropriate place to store them but often
they don't show up until the following page load. I haven't had time
to loot into it though.

I did never use flashmessenger, but I do not see why it would not
display its message when the user submits the form and thus
refreshes the page?

Hi,
In my project, the user now and then has to submit a form.
Sometimes, there is an error with processing this form (e.g. the
data couldn't be inserted into the database).
To communicate this to the user, I use the FlashMessenger action
helper. However, the FlashMessenger won't display its messages
until the next page load, which means I'll either have to refresh
the page and lose the POST data, or preserve the POST data so I can
populate the form with whatever the user just submitted, but lose
the error message.
What would be the recommended way to have both?
Thanks,
