FacesMessages, <b:messages /> & <b:message />

[chsreedhar]

Bootstrap has 4 types of alerts (success, info, warning & danger), whereas BootsFaces implements 3 types of alerts(info, warning & error), why there is no success alert. FacesMessage severity error & fatal are implemented as alert-danger.

There is an issue of JavaServer Faces Add new FacesMessage Severity "SUCCESS" #895, and it is closed.

I propose adding a new severity SUCCESS tonet.bootsfaces.utils.FacesMessages , <b:messages /> & <b:message />

@edburns @tandraschko @BalusC @arjantijms @cagataycivici Mind to chime in?

Adding a "success" severity for FacesMessages sounds like a good idea to me. So what's the reason why the proposal ticket has been closed in the JSF spec project?

Perhaps it is due to issue tracker consolidation? Ed

I really like the idea as well. The way faces messages are currently being handled is perhaps not entirely optimal. In fact, it was one of the earliest criticisms against JSF (e.g. by Matt Raible) that still hasn't really been addressed today (as opposed to most other things where @edburns et al did an amazing job).

I'm not sure why the original issue was closed, but this was done a long time ago. It was set as fixed on the very same day as it was reported:

• Add new FacesMessage Severity "SUCCESS" javaee/javaserverfaces-spec#895 (comment)

It was then closed, probably automatically, 4 years later:

• Add new FacesMessage Severity "SUCCESS" javaee/javaserverfaces-spec#895 (comment)

The general topic of "messages" and then specifically this issue about severity would be absolutely great to include in the next version of JSF. If the other JSF committers agree, then I'd surely think this has a good chance to be included indeed.

I did wonder why there wasn't a success. I thought it was a bootstrap status only
