 Hi,

 I was wondering if there is a way to have feedback messages show up in
 certain order. Like, when you have multiple messages for the user you 
 might
 want to have the most general one (e.g. success/failure) at the top and
 other detail messages shown below.

 From what I have seen so far it looks like this is not possible (at 
 least
 not with 1.4.18)

 As a default messages are rendered in the order they have been 
 provided, so
 usually you can just collect the messages you want to display and then 
 add
 them at the end of your request in the desired order. But there can be
 circumstances where this is not feasible or at least pretty anoying.

 I have seen that a FeedbackPanel can be given a comparator to sort the
 messages but the feedback messages only provide a level field to 
 distinguish
 between info, debug, errror etc. To impose a proper priority order one 
 would
 need a metric orthogonal to message levels preferrably represented by a
 primitive (double would give the biggest freedom here).

 The Component class could be extended to provide additional methods 
 like
 Component#info(String message, double priority) and messages which do 
 not
 have a priority get assigned a default value specified in the 
 Application
 class (could be 0 in the standard implementation).

 Would this be a useful/sensible addition? Is such a thing planned for 
 future
 releases or maybe already available and I just did not see it?

 One workaround/hack to implement this with the current version could 
 be to
 prefix all messages with a numeric string and use a Comparator to 
 parse this
 string and sort accordingly.

 Cheers, Chris

Re: Sorting Feedback Messages

[Peter Ertl]

igor, you mean the sorting criteria or supporting java.io.Serializable for 
info(), warn(), error(), success() ?

1.5 accepts Serializable for these methods already...

So one more nice feature when you upgrade to 1.5 :-)

Re: Sorting Feedback Messages

[Peter Ertl]

actually the message property for FeedbackMessage is of type 
java.io.Serializable, not java.lang.String. So you can can add your own custom 
error message class instead of a plain string.

e.g. inside your page

  error(new MessageWithSortCriteria("foobar", 4711))

with 

public class MessageWithSortCriteria implements Serializable
{
  public MessageWithSortCriteria(String message, int sortOrder)
  {
  }

 // ...
}

this useless sample is just to give you an impression :-)

then use a message sorter as Martin said that uses the attribute if present...

only thing you have to care about is that toString() is overridden and returns 
a user-readable string for rendering messages to the screen.

Yes, as i wrote this would be the way to impose a custom sorting on 
messages but at the moment the FilterMessage class does not provide 
dedicated fields that could be used for a sorting metric. So i was 
wondering if there are plans to provide such a thing or if we will be

Sorting Feedback Messages

[Christian Huber]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to have feedback messages show up in 
certain order. Like, when you have multiple messages for the user you 
might want to have the most general one (e.g. success/failure) at the 
top and other detail messages shown below.


From what I have seen so far it looks like this is not possible (at 
least not with 1.4.18)


As a default messages are rendered in the order they have been provided, 
so usually you can just collect the messages you want to display and 
then add them at the end of your request in the desired order. But there 
can be circumstances where this is not feasible or at least pretty anoying.


I have seen that a FeedbackPanel can be given a comparator to sort the 
messages but the feedback messages only provide a level field to 
distinguish between info, debug, errror etc. To impose a proper priority 
order one would need a metric orthogonal to message levels preferrably 
represented by a primitive (double would give the biggest freedom here).


The Component class could be extended to provide additional methods like 
Component#info(String message, double priority) and messages which do 
not have a priority get assigned a default value specified in the 
Application class (could be 0 in the standard implementation).


Would this be a useful/sensible addition? Is such a thing planned for 
future releases or maybe already available and I just did not see it?


One workaround/hack to implement this with the current version could be 
to prefix all messages with a numeric string and use a Comparator to 
parse this string and sort accordingly.


Cheers, Chris
