I have a modal panel that has a form inside. On clicking a button on the modal panel form, I need to display a message on the main panel (that invoked the modal). How do I do it. I have the following the form processing code.

if the main page (that invoked the modal) has rich:messages id="abc" and in the button processing code I call

FacesMessages.instance().addToControl("abc",
"Saved to DB");

will that work?

Any help is appreciated.



<a:form id="modalFooContent">
<rich:messages id="modalFooMessages" />

<rich:dataTable onRowMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#F1F1F1'"
onRowMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#{a4jSkin.tableBackgroundColor}'"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
border="0" var="fooList" value="#{foo.allFoo}">
<rich:column>
..........
</rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>

</a:form>
