Why is there a FacesContext in org.jboss.seam.core?

[smokingapipe]

I'm confused. If I want to use a context to send messages, do I use the javax.faces.FacesContext, or org.jboss.seam.core.FacesContext? I can't see any info about when and why org.jboss.seam.core.FacesContext would be used.

Thanks

None, you can use a FacesMessage to send a message (Refer to the registration example that comes with Seam). The org.jboss.seam.core.FacesContext is a wrapper over the javax.faces.FacesContext and returns the current implementation of javax.faces.FacesContext(which is ServletFacesContextImpl if u are using myfaces).

FacesMessages.instance().add("Your message");

Note the s at the end of FacesMessages.

Could it be that (Seam) FacesMessages can be injected whilst (JSF) FacesMessage cannot?

org.jboss.seam.core.FacesContext is a manager component. You never use it directly from your code.
