Application error into h:messages

[chicco0386]

Hi all,
my question is: Can I save the application error into FacesMessages and after display it into h:messages without use pages.xml and so the redirect attribute?.

I explain me better:
when an error accours I want to stay in the current page and display the error into the same page inside and h:messages tag.
I'm example if there is a database error during the list action, I want operate like above.

I genererate my project from a table DB instance.

CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE?

VERY THANKS

Hi,

You can do that vut it means you have to capture you error before Seam does. Meaning you must do that in the bean where the error is produced. However you must reRender your page partially to visualise the error.

I am doing this with the help of an observer-bean which gets triggered from an error event, the bean receives the error an produces the trigger for a ajax-push  which in  turn rerenders a grwwl, which is a nice tag from the Primefaces library. All a bit complex, but it works.
