s:messages and rich:messages and decorator.

[tony.herstell1]

I have a form that I submit and I expect a message to be shown next to the field in error, but it actually gets shown in the messages area.

} else {
 log.info("Failed on unique user Check.");
 statusMessages.addToControlFromResourceBundle("registration_email", Severity.ERROR, "user_email_already_exists_in_system");
}

<s:decorate id="entity_user_email_decorator"
 template="../../WEB-INF/pages/editDecorator.xhtml">
 <ui:define name="label">
 <h:outputText value="#{messages.entity_user_email_label}" />
 </ui:define>
 <ui:define name="content">
 <h:inputText id="registration_email" value="#{risingstars.user.email}"
 required="true" size="70">
 <a4j:support event="onblur" ajaxSingle="true" limitToList="true" reRender="entity_user_email_decorator"/>
 </h:inputText>
 </ui:define>
 <ui:define name="hint">
 <s:formattedText value="#{messages.entity_user_email_hint}" />
 </ui:define>
</s:decorate>

I have tried using entity_user_email_decorator to no avail.


What is insane is that this same construct works elsewhere in the project (login).

Project is available (svn) if you require.
