Prevent global messages from showing

[tomtom]

Hey there,

this is actually more a JSF problem that a Seam problem, but someone here hopefully knows the answer google didn't want me to find...

I have a problem with global FacesMessages showing in more than one place. On the top of the page, I have the standard seam-gen messages output block:

<h:messages id="messages" globalOnly="true" styleClass="message"
        errorClass="errormsg" infoClass="infomsg" warnClass="warnmsg"
        rendered="#{showGlobalMessages != 'false'}"/>

Somewhere in the page content, I put another messages-block to output messages specific to an input form:

<h:messages id="myCustomMessages" />

The problem: this second messages block not only displays the form-specific messages, but also all global messages like successfully logged in, so that the global messages are displayed twice: once in the global messages block and once in the form-specific block.

How can I tell the second messages block NOT to show global messages?

try using

<h:message for="inputId"/>

Thanks for the input!

I now implemented my form-specific message block with

<h:message for="myFormSpecificMessage"/>

and a hidden input field

<h:inputHidden id="myFormSpecificMessage" />

to which the messages are added by my action via FacesMessages.addToControl(...).

But: this way, only one message can be displayed and the hidden input is just a workaround.

There must be another way to define a named message block displaying only specific messages!?!
