/**
*
* The <o:messages> is a component that extends the standard <h:messages> with
* the following new features:
*
*
Multiple for components
*
* Possibility to specify multiple client IDs space separated in the for attribute. The example below
* would only display messages for input1 and input3:
*
* <h:form>
* <o:messages for="input1 input3" />
* <h:inputText id="input1" />
* <h:inputText id="input2" />
* <h:inputText id="input3" />
* <h:inputText id="input4" />
* </h:form>
*
*
* It can even refer non-input components which in turn contains input components. The example below would only display
* messages for input1 and input2:
*
* <h:form>
* <o:messages for="inputs" />
* <h:panelGroup id="inputs">
* <h:inputText id="input1" />
* <h:inputText id="input2" />
* </h:panelGroup>
* <h:inputText id="input3" />
* <h:inputText id="input4" />
* </h:form>
*
*
* You can even combine them. The example below would only display messages for input1,
* input2 and input4.
*
* <h:form>
* <o:messages for="inputs input4" />
* <h:panelGroup id="inputs">
* <h:inputText id="input1" />
* <h:inputText id="input2" />
* </h:panelGroup>
* <h:inputText id="input3" />
* <h:inputText id="input4" />
* </h:form>
*
*
* Displaying single message
*
* Show a single custom message whenever the component has received any faces message. This is particularly useful
* when you want to display a global message in case any of the in for specified components has a faces
* message. For example:
*
* <o:messages for="form" message="There are validation errors. Please fix them." />
* <h:form id="form">
* <h:inputText id="input1" /><h:message for="input1" />
* <h:inputText id="input2" /><h:message for="input2" />
* <h:inputText id="input3" /><h:message for="input3" />
* </h:form>
*
*
* HTML escaping
* Control HTML escaping by the new escape attribute.
*
* <o:messages escape="false" />
*
* Beware of potential XSS attack holes when user-controlled input is redisplayed through messages!
*
*
Iteration markup control
* Control iteration markup fully by the new var attribute which sets the current {@link FacesMessage}
* in the request scope and disables the default table/list rendering. For example,
*
* <dl>
* <o:messages var="message">
* <dt>#{message.severity}</dt>
* <dd title="#{message.detail}">#{message.summary}</dd>
* </o:messages>
* </dl>
*
* Note: the iteration is by design completely stateless. It's therefore not recommended to nest form components inside
* the <o:messages> component. It should be used for pure output only, like as the standard
* <h:messages>. Plain output links are however no problem. Also note that the message
* and escape attributes have in this case no effect. With a single message, there's no point of
* iteration. As to escaping, just use <h:outputText escape="false"> the usual way.
*
*
Design notice
* The component class is named OmniMessages instead of Messages to avoid
* confusion with the {@link Messages} utility class.
