Usage of h:messages as a replacement of rich:messages

pschuett Jan 19, 2011 9:10 AM

Hallo,

during my migration from JSF 1.2 / Richfaces 3.3 to JSF 2.0 / Richfaces 4.0 I try to replace rich:messages.

I have one page on my WEB-GUI and all subpages are included by ui:include (replacement for a4j:include).

When I got an error in my backing bean code I want to send it to the h:messages control.

Old solution for Richfaces 3.3

FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage(facesSeverity, shortMsg, longMsg);

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, message);

<h:form>

<rich:tabPanel switchType="client">

<rich:tab header="tab1" name="tab1">

<a4j:outputPanel id="def">

<aj4:include viewId="/web/def/index.xhtml"/>

</a4j:outputPanel>

</rich:tab>

<rich:tab header="#{profiling.profiling}" name="profiling" disabled="#{!userDetails.admin}">

<a4j:outputPanel id="profiling">

<aj4:include viewId="/web/profiling/index.xhtml"/>

</a4j:outputPanel>

</rich:tab>

</rich:tabPanel>

<rich:messages styleClass="top" layout="list" showDetail="true" style="height:55em; overflow:auto"/>

</h:form>

Now I change the JSF-Code for richfaces 4 to

<h:form>

<rich:tabPanel switchType="client">

<rich:tab header="tab1" name="tab1">

<a4j:outputPanel id="def">

<ui:include src="/web/def/index.xhtml"/>

</a4j:outputPanel>

</rich:tab>

<rich:tab header="#{profiling.profiling}" name="profiling" disabled="#{!userDetails.admin}">

<a4j:outputPanel id="profiling">

<ui:include src="/web/profiling/index.xhtml"/>

</a4j:outputPanel>

</rich:tab>

</rich:tabPanel>

<h:messages styleClass="top" layout="list" showDetail="true" style="height:55em; overflow:auto"/>

</h:form>

and it does not work.

Thanks for any hints.

Ciao

Hallo,
I tried

<h:form>
     <rich:tabPanel switchType="client">
           <rich:tab header="tab1" name="tab1">
                 <a4j:outputPanel id="def">
                       <ui:include src="/web/def/index.xhtml"/>
                 </a4j:outputPanel>
           </rich:tab>
           <rich:tab header="#{profiling.profiling}" name="profiling" disabled="#{!userDetails.admin}">
                <a4j:outputPanel id="profiling">
                     <ui:include src="/web/profiling/index.xhtml"/>
                </a4j:outputPanel>
           </rich:tab>
       </rich:tabPanel>
        <a4j:outputPanel>
           <h:messages styleClass="top" layout="list" showDetail="true" style="height:55em; overflow:auto"/>
        </a4j:outputPanel>
</h:form>

but I does not work. Any other hints?

Or do someone has a running example for filling h:messages from a bean?

3. Usage of h:messages as a replacement of rich:messages

ilya_shaikovsky Jan 19, 2011 10:51 AM (in response to pschuett)

richfaces-showcase outputPanel demo contains sample of such usage and it works fine. there are messages added by the component but from action should works the same.. need to re-check wih separate test.

Hallo,

                                        <h:commandButton id="buttonId" value="SampleAction" action="#{myBean.doSampleAction}">

                                        </h:commandButton>


                        </rich:tab>
                        <rich:tab header="Second Tab" >
                            Nothing in here!
                        </rich:tab>
                    </rich:tabPanel>
                </h:panelGrid>

                Here begins Messages: <br />
                <h:panelGrid>

                    <h:messages
                        showDetail="true"
                        globalOnly="true" showSummary="true" />
                    <br />
                </h:panelGrid>
                End of Messages<br />

            </h:form>

        </h:body>
    </f:view>
</html>

    public void doSampleAction()
    {
        FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,
                "MySummary", "MyDetail");
        FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, message);
    }

I think the problem is rich:tab. Without rich:tab both buttons work.
In a rich:tab the h:commandButton works and the a4j:commandButton does not work.
If a put the <a4j:ajax> tag into the h:commandButton then the h:commandButton also does not work.

I try different encapsulations (you see them commented), I try immediate = false, I try execute=@form/@all but
the a4j:commandButton does not work.

The same problem I have with rich:fileUpload which is also place in a rich:tab:

   <rich:fileUpload style="height:100%" fileUploadListener="#{fileUploadBean.uploadListener}"
                                 maxFilesQuantity="1000"
                                 id="myUpload" noDuplicate="true"
                                 immediateUpload="false"
                                 acceptedTypes="zip" >
                    <a4j:ajax event="uploadcomplete" execute="@none" render="info, foundDefsTable,importButton" />
                <f:facet name="label">
                    <h:outputText value="Import" />
                </f:facet>
                </rich:fileUpload>

The messages I send in uploadcomplete do not reach the h:messages control.

In the cases where I produce the messages in a button action handler I use as a workaround h:commandButton without
ajax but for rich:fileUpload I did not find a workaround.

I think this is a bug but I am not sure. Perhaps you have a solution or a workaround for me.

Thanks for Your help.
