Add facesMessage from @Factory method.

[karypid]

Is it possible to add a message to FacesMessages from a @Factory method?

I have tried using the injected @In FacesMessages but it results in a NullPointerException (apparently factory methods are called before injections).

I also tried using FacesMessages.instance(), but in this case the message does not show up on the page being rendered. It is queued too late and is therefore shown on the next page.

So, my problem is that the factory method may be unable to construct the object (data for instantiating it comes over the network and errors may occur when fetching it) and I have no way of communicating any error condition to the user via FacesMessages. Any ideas?

Hmm thats strange.

What about

StatusMessage.instance().add("someMessage")

Alex, try initializing the factory component before you render <h:messages>. You can do that by placing <div style="display:none">#{component}</div> on the top of the page or in a page action in pages.xml.
