Push error message in modalPanel from backing bean

[croco]

I have a problem showing error message in modal panel. I have a modal panel and an action button. If action fails I want to show an error message in modalPanel.

<rich:modalPanel id="modalPanel">
     <h:form id="modalPanelForm">     
          <someComponents/>
          <a4j:commandLink id="modalPanelActionLink action="backingBean.action()" />
          <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">
               <h:message for="modalPanelActionLink" />
          </a4j:outputPanel>
     </h:form>
</rich:modalPanel>

@Name("backingBean")
class BackingBean {
     public void action() {
          ... here something went wrong and ...
          FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage("Something went wrong");
          FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage("modalPanelForm:modalPanelActionLink, message);
     }
}

This should be working but in modal panel is not. Where I'm making a mistake?

have you tried to add the new message without the formId? So just "modalPanelActionLink"

I'm not sure, if added messages to commandLinks will ever work.

You can use rich:messages instead of h:message

Yes, have tryed more or less every combination.

Inside the main page they work just fine, I'm having problems with modal panel.
