No faces messages show up in the view using the following statement.
What could I use as an alternative?

FacesMessages.instance().add("Job run: RemoteJob(" + remoteJob.getId() + ")");

when invoked from inside:

@Name("remoteJobProcessor")
@AutoCreate
public class RemoteJobProcessor {
  @Logger Log log;
  @In EntityManager entityManager;
  @In QuartzTriggerHandle timer;

  @Asynchronous
  @Transactional
  public QuartzTriggerHandle processJob(
                 @JobName String jobName,
                 @Expiration Date start,
                 @IntervalDuration Long interval, 
                 @FinalExpiration Date stoptime) {

...
}
