How to display more messages for id

[kooudy]

Hello,

I am trying to display several messages for a control:

FacesMessages.instance().addToControlFromResourceBundle("idTest", "hello 1");
FacesMessages.instance().addToControlFromResourceBundle("idTest", "hello 2");
FacesMessages.instance().addToControlFromResourceBundle("idTest", "hello 3");

but

<s:div id="idTest">
  <h:message for="idTest""/>
</s:div>

displays only the very first message:

hello 1

So the question is how to display several messages to a control?

(using sam 1.2.1)
thanks

Interesting one. Both the Sun RI message tag and Trinidad's message tag display only the first message.

That seems not be standards compliant. JSF spec:

4.1.7 UIMessage (extends UIComponentBase) encapsulates the rendering of error message(s)
related to a specified input component.
...
"for" attribute: Identifier of the component for which to render error
messages.

You probably have to check for any existing message yourself and append new text :-(

Maybe you should discuss that on sun's JSF forum?!

I have a workaround:

  public List<String> getFacesMessages(String id) {
    Iterator<FacesMessage> iter = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
        .getMessages(id);

    List<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();

    while (iter.hasNext()) {
      FacesMessage msg = iter.next();
      result.add(msg.getDetail());
    }

    return result;
  }
