[OmniFaces utilities 2.0] Add the given faces message globally or to the given client ID

---

[OmniFaces utilities] The add() method adds the given faces message to the given client ID. When the client ID is null, it becomes a global faces message. This can be filtered in a <h:messages globalOnly="true">.

---

Method:

if you don't know the getContext() method than check the Faces#getContext()

Usage:

We can use the Messages#add() to add a global message, as below:

<h:messages/>

<h:form id="loginFormId">             

 E-mail: <h:inputText id="emailId" value="#{loginBean.email}"/>               

 Pass: <h:inputSecret id="passwordId" value="#{loginBean.password}"/>                                         

 <h:commandButton id="submitId" value="Login" action="#{loginBean.loginAction()}"/>                        

</h:form>

import org.omnifaces.util.Messages;

...

FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage();          

message.setSummary("E-mail not allowed!");

message.setDetail("Only Yahoo and Gmail domains are supported so far!");

message.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);

       

Messages.add(null, message);

We can use the Messages#add() to add a message to a clientId, as below:

<h:form id="loginFormId">             

 E-mail: <h:inputText id="emailId" value="#{loginBean.email}"/>               

 <h:message for="emailId"/>

 Pass: <h:inputSecret id="passwordId" value="#{loginBean.password}"/>                                          

 <h:commandButton id="submitId" value="Login" action="#{loginBean.loginAction()}"/>                        

</h:form>

import org.omnifaces.util.Messages;

...

FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage();          

message.setSummary("E-mail not allowed!");

message.setDetail("Only Yahoo and Gmail domains are supported so far!");

message.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);

       

Messages.add("loginFormId:emailId", message);

In order to use Messages#add() all you need is an FacesMessage instance.
