Hi Gerhard,
Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I can't use orchestra here but a prerenderer method is exactly what I need. Can it be possible to hook up something like a prerendererphase in myfaces / Trinidad? I don't see any other way how solve this problem.

The content area is positioned under the status message area. In the status area all messages for the user should be shown - for example success messages, error messages and exceptions. In my content area I've got a <tr:dataTable value="#{myBean.values}"..>. When the method getValues() of myBean throws an exception, I'm catching this exception. I want to display this exception in the status message area - but this does not work - apparently because the status area is already rendered when the content el-methods are called. Is there any solution for this problem? Is it possible to render the status area at last?
