Dan Allen commented on JBSEAM-2989:
-----------------------------------

To keep things simple, I think a better approach is to disable adding the message if the message key is blank or some special value (like DISABLED). That way, you just need to keep around a copy of your custom Seam messages and internally, Seam remains straightforward.

> In general, Seam is over verbose in showing default messages to the end user. Most of these default messages has no real sense and should be rather logged at debug level to the log file. But we are forced to shown these messages if only we put h:message on the page :(.
> Currently this can be dealt with by overriding Seam's FacesMessages bean with higher precedence and dropping all Seam internal messages to file. Only messages added by my method addPublicMessage() are actually shown to end user.
> This realization is clumsy but it allows me to get rid of this unfortunate Seam's default behavior.
> As a solution we can add priorities like SEAM_INFO. Then you could filter these messages out in your custom FacesMessagesass. Seam would translate these to INFO at the view layer. Or some other flag you can access (to avoid overloading the meaning of priority). Perhaps also the ability to drop messages below a given priority.
