Hello, What id are you using exactly? To add a message to FacesContext you have to use clientId, not the base id, so the message addition should be done this way:
public String myAction() { FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage("My message"); FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); context.addMessage(myComponent.getClientId(context), message); return null; } Regards, ~ Simon On 3/17/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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!
