Re: messageGroup component

The messageGroup component shows error messages that components may want
to display on the page.
If you want to classify the error messages and render then differently
according to the severity, try using the
alert or the pageAlert components. You can capture the exception/message
thrown and render that in the
summary/detail message of the alert.
