Primefaces selectonemenu必需的消息

Question

I am creating a selectonemenu using Primefaces and JSF. I want to appear a message saying "Choose one of the options". How can I do that?

This is the code:

  <!--Gender-->
           <p:selectOneMenu id="gender" value="#{users.gender}" required="true"
                               requiredMessage="Choose one of the options">
            <f:selectItem itemLabel="Choose gender" itemValue="#{null}" />
             <f:selectItem itemLabel="Male" itemValue="Male" />
            <f:selectItem itemLabel="Female" itemValue="Female" />
          </p:selectOneMenu>

Thanks

You can use :

if (users.getGender()==null) {
            FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(
                    null,
                    new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,
                            "Choose one of the options",
                            "Choose one of the options"));
}
