The level attribute on <richfaces:messages /> does not work properly
--------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-7396
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-7396
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: component, component-output
    Affects Versions: 3.3.1
         Environment: Windows XPSP3, Tomcat 6, Myfaces 1.2.7
            Reporter: Sondre Eikanger Kvalø


We're trying to limit the messages rendered using the level attribute on the <rich:messages  /> tag.

However, no matter what values we specify for the level attribute it renders no messages. Leaving out the attribute renders all messages.

Looking through the source we observed that the attribute value was "uppercased" before it was compared with the severity property on the message in the isApplicableMessages method in the UIRichMessages class. After comparing the value of the severity property on the message with an object from the list of severities the method returns with the statement severenities.contains(key) and this will never return true as the "key" parameter is camel case (eg: Error)  while the severenities list (retrieved from the tag attribute) use upper case string values (eg: INFO, ERROR).

See comments below! :-)

	protected boolean isApplicableMessage(List<String> severenities,
			FacesMessage message) {
		if (severenities.size() == 0 || severenities.contains("ALL")) {
			return true;
		}
		Severity severity = message.getSeverity();
		for (Object key : FacesMessage.VALUES_MAP.keySet()) {
			Severity sev = (Severity) FacesMessage.VALUES_MAP.get(key);
			if (0 == sev.compareTo(severity)) {
// Make the value of the "key" uppercase before invoking "contains"
				return severenities.contains(key.toString().toUpperCase());
// original source
				return severenities.contains(key);
			}
		}
		return false;
	}
