display an error message on form validation

[jeje47]

Hi,

Usually I use this to display my messages:

<f:facet name="afterInvalidField">
 <s:div styleClass="errors">
 <s:message />
 </s:div>
</f:facet>

but now I don't want to display the messages after each fields but in a place designed to this in my website (on the top of the site). This place is always rendered and the code is included in an other xhtml file (to avoid to duplicate the code in each forms).
I've tried to use the <s:message /> tag in my other xhtml file but no messages appears.

So my question is : Can I use the <s:validateAll /> tag in one xhtml file and display error messages in an other xhtml file (included in the website with the <ui:include src="file.xhtml" /> tag)?

1. If you want to use s:validateAll on other xhtml file you use the s:decorate tag that points to other xhtml file. See the start-up apps that is generated by seam-gen to get the idea of what I mean.

2. And yes you can place the h:message tag in other file and include it from another file (I haven't tried s:message yet).

Use h:messages instead to get messages for the whole view
