h:messages prints error message twice on first submit

[Sagar Salimath]

Hi,

I am new to JSF and I have been trying to solve this since a week now.

I am using <h:messages> to display on the top of the page, all the errors on the page.

Issue is when I submit the form for the FIRST TIME, a single error message gets displayed twice.
But when I submit the form again, the error message gets displayed just once which is what I want.

Can anyone please explain why <h:messages> is behaving like this.

Appreciate it. Thanks.

Can you post your page tags that are causing this?

you should be aware that there is an attribute specific to <h:messages> that is not available in the component-specific <h:message> tag:

global="true"

. This will display only messages that are NOT queued for a specific component. However, if you are not using this attribute, and you have component-specific messages as well, it will display both...once with the <h:message> tag, and once with the <h:messages> tag. I don't know if that's the problem, but I've had similar behavior caused by that default behavior.

Thanks Tom,

I got the issue.
Issue was I had two messages. One tied to the component and the other one was not.
So, the one not tied with the component was a redundant code. How stupid of me

I've done the same thing a number of times, often when I am copying code and adding some functionality. I don't carefully check to see if I am duplicating something that was already happening in the copied code.
