how to use facesMsgs.addToControl with table?

[deanhiller2000]

I tried getting the id from the html directly and using it like so

dataPostForm:accountTable:0:accDec:acc
dataPostForm:accountTable:1:accDec:acc
dataPostForm:accountTable:2:accDec:acc
etc. etc.

That did not seem to add the message to the s:message component though in the table.  Since everything is repeated, how to do validation on a table in the action method?

my exact use case is that validation of the account column changes depending on the selected utility(which I don't now in the validation phase since it is not applied on the model yet).  I then need to cursor over all the accounts and check their formats and want to attach messages to each incorrectly typed one.  How can I do this?
thanks,

Last time I checked, the jira issue was open (you can check it here). The problem is that FacesMessages contract states that messages are applied to controls by the component id (the jsf tree component), and NOT the client id (the generated HTML id). In case of a list this approach fails, since many components share the same component id. Try using this instead:

     FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage( SEVERITY_ERROR, msgTxt, msgTxt );
     FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage( clientId, msg );
