jsf message severity

jsf, message

Solution

The comparison is wrong. You cannot (reliably) compare Strings on its content with `==`. When comparing objects with `==`, it would only return `true` if they are of the same reference, not value as you seem to expect. Objects needs to be compared with `Object#equals()`.

But you can compare constants with `==`. The `FacesMessage.Severity` values are all static constants. You should rather just compare `Severity` with `Severity`. Also the sysout is wrong, it is printing the iterator instead of the sole message.

This should work:

Iterator<FacesMessage> messages = facesContext.getMessages(clientId);
while (messages.hasNext()) {
    FacesMessage message = messages.next();
    if (message.getSeverity() == FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR) {
        System.out.println("Error: " + message);
    }
}

Problem

How do I able to fetch all the messages with SEVERITY is ERROR only. I tried: ``` Iterator<FacesMessage> messages = facesContext.getMessages(clientId); while (messages.hasNext()){ if(messages.next().getSeverity().toString()=="ERROR 2")System.out.println(messages); } ``` Is this th right way? It doesnot intercept messages with ERROR severity. Any help would be highly appreciated.
