[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - FacesMessages looses component ID for validation?

Okay, I am observing some odd behavior. I have a backing bean with a custom validation method. In there I added a validation error message using the FacesMessages.add(String, FacesMessage) method. However, when I debug the faces context, the message is there, but the component ID is not. If I use the normal FacesContext to add the message it works. Works: public void validUniqueName(FacesContext context, | UIComponent toValidate, Object value) | { | ... | context.addMessage(toValidate.getClientId(context), | FacesUtils.createErrorMessage("liverep_uniquename", name)); Doesn't work: public void validUniqueName(FacesContext context, | UIComponent toValidate, Object value) | { | ... | facesMessages.add(toValidate.getClientId(context), | FacesUtils.createErrorMessage("liverep_uniquename", name)); When it works, my debugging code prints: 16:14:05,231 DEBUG [DebugPhaseListener] Faces message found. | Component: lreActionPane:name | Severity : Error | Summary : A template already exists with the name 'Test report' | Detail : A template already exists with the name 'Test report' When I use facesMessages: 16:14:05,231 DEBUG [DebugPhaseListener] Faces message found. | Component: null | Severity : Error | Summary : A template already exists with the name 'Test report' | Detail : A template already exists with the name 'Test report' What am I missing? Why is the client ID not included? Thanks, Andrew View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3960536#...
