Custom Action error message

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi,

I'm running a custom action that is copying a file to another server, and I'd like to display error messages at the completion of the move as to whether or not the copy succeeded. 

So what's the best way to display a custom message to the user after the completion of a custom action?

Thanks!
Sean

Wanted to post the solution for reference (thanks support!):

FacesMessage facesMsg = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, msg, msg);
context.addMessage(null, facesMsg);

This then gets shown in the client via the "a:errors" tag (ignore the name, see browse.jsp as an example).
