Unhandled Faces messages on validation of required=true

Question

I have a very simple problem but for the life of me I can't see where I'm going wrong. I have started to create a 'reset password' page with email and password inputs and a commandButton. Both input fields are required, but if I leave for example the password empty and click the button no message is displayed, and the server reports a warning:

WARNING: There are some unhandled FacesMessages, this means not every FacesMessage had a chance to be rendered. These unhandled FacesMessages are: - Please enter a new password

This is my page:

                            <p:inputText value="#{passwordResetBean.email}" size="40" 
                                required="true" requiredMessage="Please enter your email address" />

                            <h:outputText value="New Password" />
                            <p:password value="#{passwordResetBean.password}" size="40" 
                                required="true" requiredMessage="Please enter a new password" />

                        </p:panelGrid>

                        <p:commandButton value="Send" actionListener="#{passwordResetBean.resetPassword}" />

                    </p:panelGrid>

                    <h:messages style="color:red" />
                </h:form>

            </p:outputPanel>

            <ui:include src="/footer.xhtml" />

        </p:outputPanel>

    </h:body>

</html>

and my backing bean:

    public PasswordResetBean() throws ApplicationException {

            uuid = FacesUtil.getRequestParameter("uuid");
    }

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }

    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }

    public String getPassword() {
        return password;
    }

    public void setPassword(String password) {
        this.password = password;
    }

    public void resetPassword(ActionEvent event) {

        try {
            boolean successful = securityService.resetPassword(email, password, uuid, userId);

            if (successful) {
                FacesUtil.getHttpSession(true).setAttribute("passwordReset", true);
                FacesUtil.redirect(FacesUtil.getServletRequest().getContextPath()+"/logon.xhtml");
            }
            else {
                FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
                FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage("The reset has failed. Please try again");
                context.addMessage("resetPasswordForm", message);
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            handleException(e);
        }
    }
}

and faces config:

<managed-bean>
    <managed-bean-name>passwordResetBean</managed-bean-name>
    <managed-bean-class>com.encounter.security.ui.PasswordResetBean</managed-bean-class>
    <managed-bean-scope>view</managed-bean-scope>
    <managed-property>
        <property-name>securityService</property-name>
        <value>#{securityService}</value>
    </managed-property>
</managed-bean>

Could someone please tell me where I'm going wrong?

Thanks, Neil

You need to update the h:messages part after submitting the form, otherwise it is not possible to display any message there. I.e. use the following for the commandButton

<p:commandButton update="resetPasswordForm" value="Send" actionListener="#{passwordResetBean.resetPassword}" />

Thought I also had a with an autoUpdate in an included page but it turns out I didn't. The explicit update does work as you suggest, but now I've added the and removed the update parameter, I don't get the growl and still get the warning message. This should now work I reckon but still no joy. Don't really want to use the update parameter if I can help it. – Neil Richards Oct 25 '13 at 14:06

PrimeFaces messages can use autoupdate

<p:messages id="messages" globalOnly="true" autoUpdate="true" closable="true"  />

You're right - autoUpdate was a glaring omission. The was an afterthough as I thought I already had a with an autoUpdate in an included file (which I now realise I didn't). However, even after adding autoUpdate I still get the same message :( – Neil Richards Oct 25 '13 at 14:02
