    public class UIMessage

extends UIComponentBase

This component is responsible for displaying messages for a specific `UIComponent`, identified by a `clientId` or component id relative to the closest ancestor `NamingContainer`. The component obtains the messages from the `FacesContext`.

By default, the `rendererType` property must be set to "`javax.faces.Message`". This value can be changed by calling the `setRendererType()` method.

Field Summary
`static String` | `COMPONENT_FAMILY` The standard component family for this component.
`static String` | `COMPONENT_TYPE` The standard component type for this component.

Fields inherited from class javax.faces.component.UIComponent
`BEANINFO_KEY, bindings, COMPOSITE_COMPONENT_TYPE_KEY, COMPOSITE_FACET_NAME, CURRENT_COMPONENT, CURRENT_COMPOSITE_COMPONENT, FACETS_KEY, VIEW_LOCATION_KEY`

Constructor Summary
`UIMessage()` Create a new `UIMessage` instance with default property values.

Method Summary
`String` | `getFamily()` Return the identifier of the component family to which this component belongs.
`String` | `getFor()` Return the Identifier of the component for which to render error messages.
`boolean` | `isRedisplay()`
`boolean` | `isShowDetail()` Return the flag indicating whether the `detail` property of the associated message(s) should be displayed.
`boolean` | `isShowSummary()` Return the flag indicating whether the `summary` property of the associated message(s) should be displayed.
`void` | `setFor(String newFor)` Set the identifier of the component for which this component represents associated message(s) (if any).
`void` | `setRedisplay(boolean redisplay)` Set the flag indicating whether the `detail` property of the associated message(s) should be displayed.
`void` | `setShowDetail(boolean showDetail)` Set the flag indicating whether the `detail` property of the associated message(s) should be displayed.

Field Detail

### COMPONENT_TYPE

    public static final String COMPONENT_TYPE

  The standard component type for this component.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### COMPONENT_FAMILY

    public static final String COMPONENT_FAMILY

  The standard component family for this component.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

### UIMessage

    public UIMessage()

  Create a new `UIMessage` instance with default property values.

Method Detail

### getFamily

    public String getFamily()

  Description copied from class: `UIComponent`

  Return the identifier of the component family to which this component belongs. This identifier, in conjunction with the value of the `rendererType` property, may be used to select the appropriate `Renderer` for this component instance.

  Specified by:
    `getFamily` in class `UIComponent`

### getFor

    public String getFor()

  Return the Identifier of the component for which to render error messages. If this component is within the same NamingContainer as the target component, this must be the component identifier. Otherwise, it must be an absolute component identifier (starting with ":"). See the `UIComponent.findComponent(java.lang.String)` for more information.

### setFor

    public void setFor(String newFor)

  Set the identifier of the component for which this component represents associated message(s) (if any). This property must be set before the message is displayed.

  Parameters:
    `newFor` - The new client id

### isShowDetail

    public boolean isShowDetail()

  Return the flag indicating whether the `detail` property of the associated message(s) should be displayed. Defaults to `true`.

### setShowDetail

    public void setShowDetail(boolean showDetail)

  Set the flag indicating whether the `detail` property of the associated message(s) should be displayed.

  Parameters:
    `showDetail` - The new flag

### isShowSummary

    public boolean isShowSummary()

  Return the flag indicating whether the `summary` property of the associated message(s) should be displayed. Defaults to `false`.

### setShowSummary

    public void setShowSummary(boolean showSummary)

  Set the flag indicating whether the `summary` property of the associated message(s) should be displayed.

  Parameters:
    `showSummary` - The new flag value

### isRedisplay

    public boolean isRedisplay()

  Returns:
    `true` if this `UIMessage` instance should redisplay `FacesMessage`s that have already been handled, otherwise returns `false`. By default this method will always return `true` if `setRedisplay(boolean)` has not been called.
  Since:
    2.0

### setRedisplay

    public void setRedisplay(boolean redisplay)

  Set the flag indicating whether the `detail` property of the associated message(s) should be displayed.

  Parameters:
    `redisplay` - flag indicating whether previously handled messages are redisplayed or not
  Since:
    2.0
