A simple form...

Question

I have made a simple form using web dynpro java,with fields like name,lastname...
also I have marked some of the fields mandatory in the properties.
In the implementaion i perform some basic validations for these fields.
The problem is that all my messages appear at the end of the form after the submit button.Can i not get messages after each input field?

Hi,
This is the common code for everwhere check mandatory input field as defined string. and that should be avail on the currentcontext. and add the following code.
u will get the error in below the inputfiled and bottom of the button also.
This is my checkMandatory code:
public void checkMandatory( java.lang.String displayName, java.lang.String fieldContextID )
//@@begin checkMandatory()
IWDMessageManager messageMgr =wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager();
String attributeValue = wdContext.currentContextElement().getAttributeAsText(fieldContextID);
IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo =wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(fieldContextID);
if (attributeValue != null)
attributeValue = attributeValue.trim();
if (attributeValue.length() == 0) {
//String fieldLabel = this.wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(displayName).getSimpleType().getFieldLabel();
messageMgr.reportContextAttributeMessage(wdContext.currentContextElement(),attributeInfo,
IMessagePoInvoice.EMPTY__INPUT,
new Object[] { displayName },
true);
Add this code in your Action method.
this.checkMandatory("Please enter Order ","Search_Term");
wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().raisePendingException();
// test for another input field
this.checkMandatory("Please enter Status ","Search_Status");
wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().raisePendingException();
And this context field(Search_Status) is avail in currentContext only.
Then it should work.
Thanks,
Lohi.
