Description

We are using a PhaseListener in the render response phase to change the summary message of a FacesMessage

public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent phaseEvent) {
   ...
  Iterator componentMessages = facesContext.getMessages(clientId);

   while (componentMessages.hasNext()) {
     FacesMessage message = (FacesMessage)componentMessages.next();
     StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
     builder.append(label);
     builder.append(message.getSummary());
     message.setSummary(builder.toString());
  }
}

The problem is that since MyFaces 1.1.8 a ParametrizableFacesMessage is used for required messages. While doing a getSummary() the _evaluatedSummary is evaluated once, so effectively you can not change the _evaluatedSummary after one call to getSummary().

My questions:
1. Is this desired behaviour?
2. In MyFaces 1.1.7 a FacesMessage was used instead of a ParametrizableFacesMessage, is there a configurable way to runtime use a FacesMessage instead of a ParametrizableFacesMessage?
3. I suppose another workaround would be to add a label argument to each component which will be evaluated by the ParametrizableFacesMessage, is there any documentation how this functionality is intended to work?
