Error Message Not getting displayed on VF Page

Hi,

 

I need to display an error message when one of the fields is null. 

 VF Page :

 

<apex:page controller="conAddmailsIds" sidebar="true" showHeader="true" >
<apex:pagemessages/>
<apex:pageBlock id="block">
<apex:pageBlockSection >
<apex:panelGroup >
<center>
<apex:selectList id="select" value="{!selectId}" size="1">
<apex:selectOptions value="{!autoRun}" />
</apex:selectList>

<apex:inputText id="searchText" value="{!searchText}"/>
<apex:commandButton value="Search" action="{!getAllEmployees}" rerender="searchResult" status="status"/>
</center>

<apex:commandButton value="Hierarchy" action="{!getEmpHierarchyData}" rerender="searchResult" status="status"/>

</apex:panelGroup>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:messages/>

<apex:actionStatus id="status" startText="Searching... please wait..."/>

--------

</apex:page>

 

Controller:

 

public PageReference getAllEmployees(){
if(searchText == '' || searchText == null){
ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR, 'Add your message here');
ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);
return null;
}

......

 

I have tried with both apex:messages and apex:pagemessages, still nothing is working. Is there any page level settings to be done?

I am not able to figure out why the error message is not getting printed. Is there anything else i need to do here?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Regards,

Manasa R

You are only rendering 'searchResult' how ever either you render the entire page or atleast the message. Modify your code as below. 

 

Put your message tag inside <apex:pageblock> and add <apex:form>

<apex:page controller="conAddmailsIds" sidebar="true" showHeader="true" >
<apex:form>
<apex:pageBlock id="block">
<apex:pageMessages id='msg'/>
<apex:pageBlockSection >
<apex:panelGroup >
..........
.......in your command button render the messages as well
<apex:commandButton value="Search" action="{!getAllEmployees}" rerender="searchResult,msg" status="status"/>

//close the </apex:form> in the end.

Remove <apex:messages/> You don't need it.

In your controller it looks fine but try to change the add message to

ApexPages.AddMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'System Error, 'Your error message '));
