Right now there's no real feedback (success or error messages) for anything you do in the web console. I'm working on a message display system that uses the standard JSF messaging system, but doesn't look like garbage. :-)

Basically it will show any relevant messages at the top of the page, with an expand button for each message (to show detail). Also, I'm planning to put in a simple hover mechanism so that you can correlate messages with the client object that generated it.

I thought this was going to take a decent chunk of next week, but I think I may have it done by tonight. Hopefully I can get right into fixing the actions to use this mechanism, and then I can spend next week on navigation! See my next post for that topic....
