JboWarning - returns validion exception instead of warning

Question

Hi defined validation method in my EO.
    public boolean validateSalary(Number salary) {
        if(salary.intValue() < 4000){
            JboWarning jboWarn = new JboWarning("Bad salary");
            jboWarn.setSeverity(JboWarning.SEVERITY_WARNING);
            getDBTransaction().addWarning(jboWarn);
        return true;
    } This method returns exeception instead of warning message for user - it behaves like a JboException

Hi there,
You could try the following:
    public boolean validateSalary(Number salary) {
        if(salary.intValue() < 4000){
            JboException jboException = new JboException("Bad salaray");
            jboException.setSeverity(JboWarning.SEVERITY_WARNING);
            getDBTransaction().addWarning(jboException);
        return true;
    }This should display a warning popup to the user. However if you want to associate that message with an EditatbleValueHolder on the page
then you should construct an AttrValException, set its severity to SEVERITY_WARNING, add it to the detail list of an RowValExceptioton
and then throw the RowValException or register it using the registerRowException() method of the RowImpl class. Foe example:
  public boolean validateManagerId(Integer managerid)
    if (managerid.intValue() < 4000) {
      // There might be an easier way to retrieve a particular AttributeDef
      AttributeDef[] attrDefs = this.getDefinitionObject().getAttributeDefs();
      AttributeDef attrDef = null;
      for (AttributeDef atDef : attrDefs) {
        if ("ManagerId".equals(atDef.getName())) {
          attrDef = atDef;
          break;
      // Construct an AttrValException and set its severity
      String errCode = "com.test.model.Departments.Manager_CUSTOM_ERROR";
      AttrValException attrEx = new AttrValException(MetaObjectBase.TYP_ENTITY_OBJECT, getResourceBundleDef(),
                                           errCode, getEntityDef().getFullName(),
                                           "ManagerId", getAttribute("ManagerId"), null, false);
      attrEx.setSeverity(JboWarning.SEVERITY_WARNING);
      // The list of detailed exceptions may hold an arbitrary number of exceptions
      ArrayList detailsList = new ArrayList();
      detailsList.add(attrEx);
      // Construct a RowValException object
      RowValException rowEx = new RowValException(getResourceBundleDef().createResourceBundle(ADFContext.getCurrent().getLocale()).getClass(),
                                                  null, getEntityDef().getFullName(), this.getKey(), detailsList, true);
//      this.registerRowException(rowEx);
      throw rowEx;
    return true;
  }
