Issue with Popup Warning in SaveAndClose Panel

Question

hi,
I have a requirement to show a warning message based on Validation of some fields to get user input . Then I try to Commit or not Commit the data.
But the popup is not getting launched before completing the method.
When I run Click on Save or SaveandClose button , if Validation method below returns false, popup wont be launched immediately, until it reaches end of Save/SaveCllose Action methods.
Because of this I am not able to capture the user response and proceed accordingly.
Here is the example code:
I have Page: Entry.jsff
It has Save and SaveAndClose Rendered and is based on Application Panel (I can have toolbar buttons also )
In Save and SaveClose Action methods I am calling validation method which in turn throws a Warning popup. like below.
public String handleSaveAndClose() {       
if(handleValidations()){
RecordingUiUtil.invokeEL("#{bindings.Commit.execute}");
return ("saveandclose");
}else{
Map pageFlowScope =
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getPageFlowScope();
String wrng = (String)pageFlowScope.get("pSubmitFlag");
if(wrng!=null && wrng.equals("Y")){
RecordingUiUtil.invokeEL("#{bindings.Commit.execute}");
return ("saveandclose");
return null;
The Save Action Method:
public String handleSave() {       
if(handleValidations()){
RecordingUiUtil.invokeEL("#{bindings.Commit.execute}");
return ("save");
}else{
Map pageFlowScope =
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getPageFlowScope();
String wrng = (String)pageFlowScope.get("pSubmitFlag");
if(wrng!=null && wrng.equals("Y")){
RecordingUiUtil.invokeEL("#{bindings.Commit.execute}");
return ("save");
return null;
public boolean handleValidations(){
/*....Lets say I have some validation code*/
if(validation success){
return true;
}else{
PatternsPublicUtil.invokePopup(this.getSubmitWrngPopup(),null);
return false;
Return Value for "saveandclose" has taskflow Return to parent page.
It works fine when validation method returns true. No issue as there is no need for Warning.
When validation fails I cant proceed with user response before completing action methods.
Can u pl. help any poissible solution for this??
thx

Hi,
you cannot interrupt processing of a managed bean method. You need to break up the methods in a part that runs for evaluating the success of validation- If validation fails you open a popup with a dialog. You then listen for the dialog OK or Cancel button being oressed and proceed accordingly. If you need to transfer context information between the two actions, use memory scope attributes
See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/77-ok-cancel-support-in-dialog-351871.pdf
for how to handle the OK and Cancel button in a dialog
