Description

When there are no faces messages generated, h:messages component does not render no HTML tags, so it cannot be updated by ajax.

To reproduce:

<h:messages id="messages" />

<h:commandButton value="Invoke listener by type" action="#

{bean.generateMessage}

">
<f:ajax render="messages" />
</h:commandButton>

No messages will appear. As a workaround messages component can be wrapped into h:panelGroup that's id will be specified in 'render':

<h:panelGroup id="messages">
<h:messages />
</h:panelGroup>
