First of all, sorry if this was already asked and answered, but i didn't find a way to search for a topic in the richfaces community with this new forum layout (the old one was ugly, but did work ). Anyway here it goes:

How can i make the rich:messages component show only the first error (and not all errors) that are triggered by the rich:graphValidator? Example:

<a4j:form>

     <rich:graphValidator>

          <h:inputText value="#{bean.value1}"/>

          <h:inputText value="#{bean.value2}"/>

     </rich:graphValidator>

     <a4j:commandButton value="Submit"/>

     <rich:messages/>

</a4j:form>

If the two inputs trigger errors on the submit (i'm using Hibernate Validator), two messages are throw.

- value1 cant have more than 5 characters

- value2 cant have more than 5 characters

How can I configure it to show only the first error?

Thanks in advance,

and happy new year for the richfaces-team!
