Global: Invalid state for inputs referenced from a FacesMessage via clientId

We sometimes add errors to inputs via Java-business-logic: FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage("form:txt", new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "Error!", "Contact admin."));

This come with the limitation, that this input does not get the same red border like inputs which have an validation-error.

The following generic code make setValid(false) to all input´s which have a error-message.

private void transferFacesErrors2NotValid() {
	Spliterator<String> spliterator = Spliterators.spliteratorUnknownSize(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getClientIdsWithMessages(), 0);
	StreamSupport.stream(spliterator, false).forEach(clientId -> {
		long errors = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getMessageList(clientId).stream().filter(m -> m.getSeverity().equals(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR)).count();

		if (errors>0) {
			UIComponent uiComp = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().findComponent(clientId);
			if (uiComp instanceof UIInput) {
				((UIInput) uiComp).setValid(false);
			}
		}
	});
}

By setting valid to false the inputs get the red border.

Is this something we may add in some way to PrimeFaces?

I think we can add it with a config flag in 9.0 which is disabled per default
