Date and Salary validation at EO level.

Question

Hi All,
I have two fields Salary and Date both are present at EO level
I need to write a validation that if the date of birth entered on UI is more than 50 years as of today then salary should not be less than 5000
Ex: if date entered is 02-02-1961 and salary entered is 4500 then it should throw an error message on click of the button.
There are many custom validations at eo level but exactly where should this be done.
Thanks,
Arun

Thanks All ... Actually i have binded the UI fields and in the bean i have written the following code and calling it on click of a button and its working... Anyhow i will try the other options also such as using groovy and writing the code in eoimpl provided in this thread .... The code which i have written is as follows but is it the right approach please let me know
public void comm() {
oracle.jbo.domain.Number s = (oracle.jbo.domain.Number)sal.getValue();
oracle.jbo.domain.Date ds = (oracle.jbo.domain.Date)dob.getValue();
java.util.Date sa = convertDomainDateToUtilDate(ds);
System.out.println("The dob is "+sa);
Calendar cl = Calendar.getInstance();
cl.setTime(new java.util.Date());
cl.add(Calendar.YEAR, -50);
java.util.Date toDate = cl.getTime();
System.out.println("The 50 years before date is "+toDate);
if ( sa.before(toDate) && s.intValue() < 5000) {
FacesMessage msg =
new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.FACES_MESSAGES,
"sal should be more than 5000");
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.addMessage(null, msg);
} else {
invokeEL("#{bindings.Commit.execute}");
public static java.util.Date convertDomainDateToUtilDate(oracle.jbo.domain.Date domainDate) {
java.util.Date date = null;
if (domainDate != null) {
java.sql.Date sqldate = domainDate.dateValue();
date = new Date(sqldate.getTime());
return date;
Thanks,
