How to block showing p:growl message in primefaces - jsf

I have defined a p:growl in my xhtml page like this:
<p:growl id="growl" showDetail="true" />.
When submit my form shows an error message for the required field when they are empty. And it highlights the required field with a red border.
So I need highlighting part but don't want to show p:growl. But p:growl component is used for another purpose. How can I block showing
p:growl when required field is empty?

Jens's variant make growl not to show ALL messages. Next solution works for me:
<p:growl id="growl" showDetail="true" rendered="#{not facesContext.validationFailed}"/>

If I understand your question correctly you want to show the p:growl only when there is no validation error.
To achieve this you could add a rendered attribute to the growl component:
<p:growl id="growl" showDetail="true" rendered="#{empty facesContext.messages}"/>
This will render the growl only if there is no validation error.
EDIT: I removed the not in the el.

Multiple values for the update attribute on p:commandButton

I am new in Primefaces, i would like to know if i can use two values for the attribute update on primefaces commandButton component:
My code
<p:messages id="messages" ...../><!-- not always updated -->
<h:form>
...
<p:commandButton ....action="search" update="#all :messages"/>
..
</h:form>
<h:form>
<p:panel header="Number of element in the the table:#{bean.number}">
<!--not always updated -->
<p:datatable>
<!-- always updated -->
</p:datatable>
</p:panel>
</h:form>
When i did this, the header of the panel component is not updated.
When i put only update="#all", the messages component (p:messages) is not updated even with autoUpdate="true"
Can you help me please !
Don't use #all, is bad practice (http://forum.primefaces.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6956#p36841).
If you want to update a specific component or form you can use jQuery Selectors: PFS (PrimeFaces Selectors) - Showcase
So, you can put an id on the second form and specify it in the update attribute.

p:remoteCommand and p:messages with autoUpdate="true" clears messages [duplicate]

I'm using PrimeFaces poll component to refresh some content.
<h:form id="formBsvtt">
<p:messages autoUpdate="true" showDetail="false" />
<p:outputPanel id="panelOut" layout="block">
...
... content to refresh
...
</p:outputPanel>
<p:panelGrid id="panelIn" layout="block">
...
... various input components with validation
...
</p:panelGrid>
<p:poll widgetVar="poll1" autoStart="true" global="false" interval="15"
partialSubmit="true" process="#this" update="panelOut"
listener="#{myBean.myListener}">
</p:poll>
</h:form>
As you can see I'm using messages with autoUpdate=true. My Problem is: In case of validation errors FacesMessages will be shown, but disappear not later than 15 seconds.
Is it possible to prevent poll from clearing FacesMessages without setting messages autoUpdate=false?
My web application is much bigger as code snippet specified above and my intention is not updating messages manually in each possible case!
PrimeFaces 2.x/3.x
This is not natively possible, so a trick is needed. In the rendered attribute of <p:messages>, check if <p:poll> was been triggered and if so, then return false. This way JSF thinks there's no auto-updatable messages component in the component tree during rendering and will therefore ignore it.
If the <p:poll> is triggered, then its client ID appears as javax.faces.source request parameter. So, this should do:
<p:messages ... rendered="#{param['javax.faces.source'] ne poll.clientId}" />
...
<p:poll binding="#{poll}" ... />
(note: no additional bean properties needed)
PrimeFaces 4.x+
All PrimeFaces command components got a new ignoreAutoUpdate attribute which you could set to false to ignore all autoUpdate="true" components in the ajax update.
<p:poll ... ignoreAutoUpdate="true" />
For folks using Primefaces 4.0 and above, the Primefaces team have added an attribute to their ajax aware components to skip triggering components with autoUpdate set to true. So your poll would be
<p:poll ignoreAutoUpdate="true" .../>

CommandButton execution while rendering

Question: How can I prevent the execution of a while the website is rendering?
Thats where my Button sits:
<p:dialog widgetVar="newComment" height="200" width="500">
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid>
<h:outputText value="#{commentDialog.username}" />
<h:inputTextarea id="in_text" value="#{commentDialog.text}" />
<p:message for="in_text" />
</h:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton validateClient="true" value="Abschicken" ajax="true"
actionListener="#{popupRequestView.update}" action="PF('newComment').hide();update_popup();" />
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
The action attribute is intented to execute a backing bean action method on click, not to print some JavaScript code (which of course get executed immediately
You perhaps meant to use onclick or oncomplete instead. Like as in basic HTML, those on* attributes are intented to execute some JavaScript code during the specified HTML event ("click", "complete", etc).
oncomplete="PF('newComment').hide();update_popup();"
Another cause not visible in the information provided so far is that you forgot to register the p: XML namespace. Any <p:xxx> tags would then be printed as if it's plain text. Verify if a parent element somewhere in the markup has this:
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
Regardless, taking a JSF pause and learning some basic HTML/JavaScript wouldn't be a bad idea. After all, JSF is "just" a HTML/CSS/JS code generator.
you must use primefaces ajaxStatus to prevent click on button while rendering and execute ajax

primefaces panelgrid update from datatable

I am getting "Cannot find component with identifier "contentForm:tabView:form:addressDialogPanel" referenced from "contentForm:tabView:form:addressBookTable" " error. How can I update my panelGrid inside the widget?
<h:form id="form">
<p:dataTable id="addressBookTable">
<p:ajax event="rowSelect" listener="#{addressBookController.onRowSelect}"
update="contentForm:tabView:form:addressDialogPanel" oncomplete="addressDialog.show()" />
</p:dataTable>
<p:dialog id="addressDialogId" widgetVar="addressDialog">
<h:panelGrid id="addressDialogPanel" columns="2" cellpadding="4">
</h:panelGrid>
</p:dialog>
</h:form>
The main problem is that you are giving the wrong client ID of component's. Also p:tabView is a component it is not a form. When you define a h:form, it generates a standart HTML form element. And when you submit the page JSF uses POST to submit your data into backing bean. So nesting them is going to occur lot's of issues that you don't expect. You should seperate forms into sections like sideForm or searchForm or etc.
You should detect the correct client ID of your component when you try to update it. You can do this with your browser's developer settings(press f12 for chrome). Then select component with the magnifier button and give that ID into update property. Just like here:

Primefaces editable dataTable and hibernate validator

I have an editable dataTable in PrimeFaces and am using the Hibernate Validator for bean validation. This works fine with a <p:inputText /> element. Now I want to have validation on a dataTable which is editable.
This is what is happening:
If I enter valid values, the page updates as expected
If I enter invalid values, when I click the little "save" check mark nothing happens - the cell remains editable, database write is not attempted, no error message is displayed.
There is an <h:messages /> tag on the page, so why doesn't an error message show up? The component appears to be aware there was a problem since the row remains in the editable state.
EDIT: I enabled logging and saw this:
21:20:43,874 FINE [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.context] (http-localhost-127.0.0.1-8080-2) Adding Message[sourceId=demoTable:j_idt11:2:j_idt15,summary=Testing Hibernate Validator Error Message)
So it looks like the context is being correctly updated. It seems like I need to do something to trigger the message it render.
Use the belowfollowing statement in your jsf file and it should work:
<p:messages id="messages" showDetail="true" autoUpdate="true"
closable="true" showSummary="false"/>
