Session message on error should be red (instead of green)

[maxhbr]

If one shows a banner using com.siemens.sw360.portal.portlets.Sw360Portlet.setSessionMessage,
one will see a green banner. I think that the color should depend on requestStatus, i.e.

• green only for SUCCESS
• red for FAILURE
• yellow for everything else

Banner is green but the message says "Vendor short could not be....".

Postpone to 1.4. Now users cannot see the admin portlet any more, so the above use case is not possible any more. Wait until another use case appears before working on this feature.

maybe could be covered if we update to 6.2...GA6 or 7

maybe in the BDP Import section - there are red banners, please test. Let's focus on the update of Liferay (in case there are no red banners already) if that is possible (instead of having a complicated work around.

This would be possible with acceptable effort:

A third type of message is difficult and requires a Liferay plugin. Removing the green and the first red message is maybe possible, but not clear with how much effort.

This is how to hide the standard messages;

SessionMessages.add(request, PortalUtil.getPortletId(request) +
SessionMessages.KEY_SUFFIX_HIDE_DEFAULT_ERROR_MESSAGE);
SessionMessages.add(request, PortalUtil.getPortletId(request) +
SessionMessages.KEY_SUFFIX_HIDE_DEFAULT_SUCCESS_MESSAGE);

These lines should be placed after
SessionMessages.add(request, "request_processed", successMsg); and
SessionErrors.add(request, "error-key");
