Associating an icon with h:message

[Eugene Abarquez]

Hello All,

This question in purely for aesthetic value, but does anybody know how to associate an <h:message> tag with an image or an icon?

I am displaying an error message through <h:message> and I want display an image (like an x-mark) before the string message.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

you need to make your own custom tag, in which you can include an image component along with a message component.

I don't know the best tutorial, but you may find some on JavaServer Faces (JSF) Tutorial Net in "Developing JSF Components" section. I liked the How To Create Your Own JSF Components for basic understanding. You maybe don't need a renderer, create UIComponents as needed, for example a panelGroup with two children, a graphicImage and your needed htmlMessage.
