Hi Krishna,
You can make the US Phone format validation in the Page controller by making a validation function and call this validation function on the submit button or form submission. u can use the following function in the page controller-
public void validatePhone(String sPhoneNumber )
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\d{3}-\\d{3}-\\d{4}");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(sPhoneNumber);
if (matcher.matches()) {
throw new OAException("Phone Number Valid", OAException.INFORMATION);
else
throw new OAException("Phone Number must be in the form XXX-XXX-XXXX", OAException.INFORMATION);
and call the validation function in processFormRequest function
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OAMessageTextInputBean msgInBean =(OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("<id of the element>");
if ((pageContext.getParameter("<submit button>") != null))
String val =(String)msgInBean.getValue(pageContext);
validatePhone(val);
u also have the following imports in the controller -
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException;
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.beans.message.OAMessageTextInputBean;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
I hope this will help u.
