RE: How to setup and display non-error messages

[CONNER, BRENDAN \(SBCSI\)]

FYI: The general concepts are explained on pp. 211 - 213 of Core
JavaServer Faces.  It allows you to specify the id of the component for
which the message applies.

This is an example of how I've used it.  Note that I can change to any
kind of UIInput to represent an externalCustomerLastName, and my code
remains unchanged.  Probably not as useful for a last name field, but
for input components that might change between inputCalendars or
pulldowns or inputText fields, it's very helpful.

    private transient UIInput externalCustomerLastNameInput;
    public UIInput getExternalCustomerLastNameInput()
    {
        return this.externalCustomerLastNameInput;
    }
    public void setExternalCustomerLastNameInput(
            UIInput externalCustomerLastNameInput)
    {
        this.externalCustomerLastNameInput =
externalCustomerLastNameInput;
    }

facesContext.addMessage(externalCustomerLastNameInput.getClientId(facesC
ontext),
                    new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,
                        "Last name mismatch", "The last name doesn't
match the record found."));

<h:outputLabel for="ExternalCustomerLastNameInput">
    <h:outputText value="Customer Last Name:"/>
</h:outputLabel>
<h:inputText id="ExternalCustomerLastNameInput"
    binding="#{page.externalCustomerLastNameInput}" 
    value="#{dataModel.externalCustomerLastName}"/>
<h:message for="ExternalCustomerLastNameInput" styleClass="errors"
showDetail="true"/>
