I have a simple flow in my appliaction - if you fill out and press save on one form (if everything goes well) you are redirected to a second view with a list. Now I wanted to add a message saying "You successfuly added an object" but since I'm using a redirect from what I remember I need to use the Flash scope. And so I did. The problem is that during the first "save" it correctly shows only 1 message but when I navigate back to the form and hit "save" it will show me the current message and the old one! It's even stranger that when (for the 3rd time) I go back to the form and hit "save" I again get only 1 message (and so on 1-2-1-2-1-2 etc...). Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug in jsf? I mean my I'm calling the same method and get different results...
I'm using primefaces and the newest mojarr:
jsf-api-2.1.1-b04
jsf-impl-2.1.1-b04
primefaces-2.2.1
Here's the code (most relevant parts at least):
SaveForm.xhtml:
<div id="content-box" class="content-box">
<p:panel id="content-panel" header="Dane raportu"
styleClass="content-panel">
<div class="content-box">
<h:form prependId="false">
<h:panelGrid id="grid" columns="2" styleClass="content-panel">
<!-- some inputs and labels -->
<p:commandButton value="#{msg['thesis.save.button']}"
action="#{thesisBean.saveThesis}" />
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
</div>
</p:panel>
</div>
saveThesis method:
public String saveThesis() {
//this creates a Hibernate entity and saves it to the DB
thesisService.addThesis(createThesisEntity());
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.getExternalContext().getFlash().setKeepMessages(true);
ResourceBundle bundle = context.getApplication().getResourceBundle(
context, "msg");
context.addMessage(null,
new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "key1",
"key2"));
return "list-theses.xhtml?faces-redirect=true";
}
list-theses.xhtml:
<ui:composition template="/basicTemplate.xhtml">
<ui:define name="content">
