H:message and method result

Question

Hi all,
I've got an input text and a button which send an email to the adress entered by the user...
<h:inputText id="email" size="20" required="true" binding="#{MyBean.email}">
<t:validateEmail />
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="email" styleClass="error" />
<h:commandButton value="Send" action="#{MyBean.sendMail}"/>I'd like to display a simple message (almost as a green validation message) beside the button which says "The mail has been sent" when the binded method finished successfully.
Is it possible to associate an "h:message" element with the result of a method?

Answer 1

Assuming "email" is an correctly bound UIComponent/UIOutput/UIInput/HtmlInputText element, do the following to add a message to the appropriate h:message:FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "This is a success message.", null);
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.addMessage(email.getClientId(context), message);And change the JSF to:<h:message for="email" errorClass="error" infoClass="success" />Where .success should be a css style for the green message.
