<p:growl> and <p:messages> in a same page

I want use <p:messages> to display error message, use <p:growl> to display success messages. In the backing bean:

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); 
context.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(title, msg));

But I found whatever I add message in the backing bean, <p:messages> and <p:growl> both display it.

Any suggestion.

In the growl's demo page of PrimeFaces, they mentioned that: "Growl simply replaces h:messages component.". I'm afraid that you may not be able to achieve your goal because growl will also display all FacesMessage in the View.

However, if you reverse your requirement - display errors using <p:growl> & display successful messages using <p:message>, you can actually achieve that as following:

<p:message id="successMsg" for="successMsg" />

@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class MrBean {

   public void doSomething() {
      FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); 

      if (failed) {
         context.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("Failed", "Sry boss! I have failed.")); 

      } else {
         context.addMessage("successMsg", new FacesMessage("Successful", "Hey boss! I did it!"));

      }
   }

}

I added a separate messages panel for growl and messages and update this panel when i submit the form as following: 

 <p:panel id="messages">
    <p:messages for="errorMsg" showDetail="true" />
    <p:growl for="infoMsg" showDetail="true" />
    <p:growl globalOnly="true" />
 </p:panel>

<p:commandButton id="submit" value="Submit" update="messages" actionListener="#{yourManagedBean.submit}" />

In ManagedBean 

     // display submit info - showDetail="true" in infoMsg will show details message
     FacesMessage infoMsg = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Submit Info", "Your details info message." );
     FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage("infoMsg", infoMsg);

     // display error message - e is instance of Exception
     FacesMessage errMsg = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "Error Occured", e.getMessage());
     FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage("errorMsg", errMsg);


     // display some generic message (with no details in growl)
     FacesMessage genericMsg = new FacesMessage("Generic Message");
     FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, genericMsg);

I have tested this using Primefaces 5.0.

Enjoy!

JSF: 

<p:messages for="somekey" />
<p:growl for="anotherkey" />

Bean:

context.addMessage("somekey", new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO,"Sample info message", "PrimeFaces Rocks"));
context.addMessage("somekey", new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO,"Sample info message", "Always bet on Prime"));a
context.addMessage("anotherkey", new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO,"Sample info message", "PrimeFaces is developed by Chuck Norris"));

This just worked fine with me!

This maybe an old question, but maybe this is relevant still:

I had this same situation come up, I worked it out using the for statement in each tag

<p:growl id="someid" for="growl" />
<p:messages id="messageid" for="messages" />

and the backing bean:

context.addMessage("growl", new FacesMessage("Successful", "to growl"));
context.addMessage("messages", new FacesMessage("Successful", "to messages"));

just as a side note, if you add autoupdate="true" then the messages will get reset for both growl and messages (if you add messages to growl, messages will get cleared)

It looks like as of PrimeFaces 3.3 you can do what you wanted to do:

http://blog.primefaces.org/?p=1894

You can now do:

<p:messages severity="error" />
<p:growl severity="info, warn" />

with

context.addMessage("somekey", new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,"Error Title", "Error Message"));
context.addMessage("somekey", new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO,"Success Title", "Success Message"));

You can use a p:growl that doesn't render when there are only validation errors.

<p:growl 
    id="growl" 
    sticky="true" 
    showDetail="true" 
    rendered="#{not facesContext.validationFailed}"/>
