Getting "ApexPages.addMessage" message to display in my VF page.

Hi,

 

I'm having trouble getting the "ApexPages.addMessage" message to display in my VF page when there's an error.  Below is the code in the extensions that validates the input before saving the record.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

 

"

...
    //
    //Save current record
    //
    public PageReference save(){
        if (validate_save_data()) {                    
            ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'Error: Invalid Input.');
            ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);
            return null;
        } else {
            upsert erma;
            return (new ApexPages.StandardController(erma)).view();       
        }      
    }
 
    //
    // Validate input data before saving  
    //
    public boolean validate_save_data () {
        if (erma.sales_area__c == null) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }

Hey

 

Have you included:

 

<apex:pageMessages />

 

within your VF page? That's the tag that outputs page messages..

I've been struggling with this for the past hour or so.  It seems very easy, but my messages are not showing up.

 

Here's the section on the page where I want to show messages:

 

<apex:pageblock >
<apex:pageblockSection >
<h1>Page Messages:</h1>
<apex:pageMessages />
</apex:pageblockSection>
 
And here's the controller method that's generating the messages:
 
        if (billTos.size() > 0) { 
        	try{
        		insert billTos; 
        		// set the message for the user		
        		ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.INFO,'Bill-To Sites successfully created'));
        	} catch (DMLException e){
        		// show the messages to the user
        		ApexPages.addMessages(e);
        	}
        } else {
        	// set the message for the user
    		ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.INFO,'No Sites Selected'));
        }
 I am successfully inserting my selected records, but I never get the info message that the insert was successful.
 
On the same page, I should be able to also select no records, click the button, and get the message "No Sites Selected" but no luck there either.
 
I know there must be something stupid I'm not doing, but I can't figure it out.  Any tips appreciated!

the return type of the controller should be null .
if you have theController.view().setRedirect(true);  in your controller then you cannot view the error message.

There are two way to display message on visualforce page from controller
1. Normal Case: 
 
to display simple message follow this 
ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.severity.info,constantClass.'Hello'));
 
2. Exception Case:
Try {
// your code 
}catch(Exception e) 
{
   ApexPages.addMessages(e) ; 
}
 
Please mind that there two method I have explained above 
 
ApexPages.addMessage(pMessage)
& 
ApexPages.addMessages(pAPEX_OBJECT)

can someone explain how to add error message at the bottom of the page by using : ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'Error: Invalid Input.');
Since by default it shows error at the top of the page?

I also would like to display the message at the bottom.  Better yet at a specified field.
