Hi,
If your requirement is making an input field as mandatory input field then for this validation you can follow the following procedure..
1> Add an entry like the following in your Message Pool.
MISSING_INPUT as Message Key, Message Type error, must be enterred  as Message Text.
2> Add a method called checkInputValues as follows for validation as follows
  public void checkInputValues( java.util.ArrayList attributeCollection, java.util.ArrayList fieldNames )
    //@@begin checkInputValues()
     IWDMessageManager messg = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
String strValue=(String)wdContext.currentCalIDSHDtailsElement().getAttributeValue(attributeCollection.get(0).toString());
          if(strValue==null || strValue.equalsIgnoreCase(" "))
               messg.reportContextAttributeMessage(
               wdContext.nodeCalIDSHDtails().currentCalIDSHDtailsElement(),
               wdContext.nodeCalIDSHDtails().getNodeInfo().getAttribute(attributeCollection.get(0).toString()),
               IMessageTpcalender.MISSING__INPUT,
               new Object[]{ fieldNames.get(0) },
               true);
    //@@end
3> Add another method  in your View that will use the validation code on Submit and add the following code in the method
public void onActionSubmit(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionSaveCalData(ServerEvent)
    ArrayList attList = new ArrayList();
    ArrayList fieldNames = new ArrayList();
     attList.add(0,IPrivateTpcalenderViewOne.ICalIDSHDtailsElement.FIRSTAME);
     fieldNames.add(0,"FIRST NAME");
    this.checkInputValues(attList,fieldNames);
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().raisePendingException();
    //@@end
if you use the above procedure you can perform the validation on a input field and if user does not enter any value and tries to submit the form then the input field will be marked with red color.. Hope this helps..
If you need further help let me know...
Please reward points if it helps..
