rich:message is renderer even though it is in non-active switchable panel, causing JSF to fail with mallformedXML error ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-13107 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-13107 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: component-validators Affects Versions: 4.3.2 Reporter: Jonáš Trantina Assignee: Brian Leathem Fix For: 4.3.4 Attachments: bug_reproducer.zip We have a form with a tabPanel component with two tabs A and B. In A there is an input and its rich:message in B the same plus a button that submits and re-renders B. When B is opened (thus A is not rendered) and the form is submitted and validation fails, then no message is shown. Note that: 1) switchType must be set to server to ensure the A's rich:message is really not on the page. 2) button in B must re-render only content of B This is only a specific scenario, the issue might occur also in other situations (e.g. global messages tag outside of tabPanel is not rendered). Please find the enclosed reproducer.
