I have this jsf page that saves to the database. After saving it goes to a particular page. This page is then supposed to display the message that the changes were saved to the database. These are two different pages and go through several controllers. so what i did was use a hidden tag to retrieve a value.. here's my code..
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk" prefix="t" %>

alert("Supplier Saved");
document.getElementById('a2z:saveMessage').value=false;
}
