Well, if you use the x:message and x:messages tags of MyFaces, your users at least don't get irritated by displaying to them the id's of the components - so if you provide labels, MyFaces will automatically show the label text as an identification instead of the ID.
This is still not perfect, and you can still not provide your custom messages. For a solution, you would really have to overwrite the components with another attribute, like 'customMessage' and reimplement the message / messages renderers to handle this attribute. If you are doing this, maybe you want to do it in MyFaces right away and donate your efforts back to the community? If so, please read first the corresponding sections in the JSF1.2 spec draft, and try to keep as close to what they are suggesting right now as a solution as possible. regards, Martin On 8/12/05, Marc Fonteijn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 12 Aug 2005 11:38:38 +0200, Martin Marinschek > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > JSF 1.2 does indeed prove better message handling. > > > > stay tuned for the happiness ;)! > > No personal offence but to wait 6+ months for better message handling ... > > - JSF 1.2 Release date: "This will occur at the time of the J2EE 5.0 Final > Release."
