  • are you sure your input was not valid? if input is valid so there will be no message. – erencan Sep 03 '13 at 06:42
  • am sure my input is invalid .. and also my action is also getting called even though validation fails... –  Sep 03 '13 at 08:17
  • Don't forget the form, as a seperate naming container so if you name your message id msg and try to update it it will be form:msg – Lyrion Sep 03 '13 at 09:19

You seem to expect that JSF auto-updates the <h:message> on every ajax request. This is untrue. Perhaps you're confusing with PrimeFaces <p:messages> or <p:growl> which have each an autoUpdate attribute which enables you to tell them to auto-update themselves on every ajax request.

You really need to make sure that the <h:message> is covered by the ajax update. Just give it an ID

<h:message id="yearMessage" ... />

and include it in the client ID collection of the ajax update

<p:commandButton ... update="updateList updateDetails yearMessage" />

An alternative would be to replace <h:message> by <p:messages autoUpdate="true">.

Not sure where are the updateList and updateDetails are located but in the example give above you should use update="@form" instead or in addtion like this: 

update="updateList updateDetails @form"

so that the form will be rendered again...

    No its not, you need to make sure you render/update the `h:message` with you commandButton. – Daniel Sep 03 '13 at 07:22
  • @erencan, try with plain `h:commandButton` with simple empty `f:ajax` , cause `p:commandButton` is boosted with default update of `@form` or something like this – Daniel Sep 03 '13 at 07:39
  • @erencan, I don't what have you tried and based on what you are saying this thigs, but read this: http://balusc.blogspot.co.il/2006/09/debug-jsf-lifecycle.html#ValidationError , even when validation fails the RENDER_RESPONSE will be called. – Daniel Sep 03 '13 at 07:57

    Yes @Daniel you are right. update is necessary for `p:commandButton`. – erencan Sep 03 '13 at 08:25
  • rendering the form is not required for showing error messages as in the examples given by jsf.. –  Sep 03 '13 at 09:30

just use one of these : update the whole form in order to update the content of <h:message />

<p:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{leaveController.leaveCard}" update="@form" id="button"/>

or give the <h:message /> an id and id this id to the <p:commandButton/>
<h:message id="msg" for="year" style="color:red"/>

<p:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{leaveController.leaveCard}" update="updateList,updateDetails,msg" id="button"/>
