I have a simple page that uses an a4j:region and has rich:messages at the top of the page. The page is as follows:
<html xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.ajax4jsf.org/rich"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:a4j="https://ajax4jsf.dev.java.net/ajax"
xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core">
<ui:composition>
<rich:messages layout="list" showDetail="true" showSummary="false">
<f:facet name="infoMarker">
<h:graphicImage value="/images/passed.gif" />
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="errorMarker">
<h:graphicImage value="/images/error.gif" />
</f:facet>
</rich:messages>
<h:form id="Test">
<a4j:region>
<h:inputText id="Text" value="#{TestBean.text}" required="true"/>
<a4j:commandButton value="Do Test" action="#{TestBean.doTest}"/>
</a4j:region>
</h:form>
</ui:composition>
</html>If I try to click the 'Do Test' button, I expect to see the rich message display at the top of the page complaining about a missing required field. Instead I see nothing. If I remove the a4j:region, it works just fine. It also works fine if I use h:messages (wrapped in an outputPanel) instead of rich:messages. Is there a reason why rich:messages won't work properly when used with a4j:region?
