Length Validator
Hi All,
I used Length Validator on few attributes in Entity Object. It works fine and gives validation error on UI when validation for textfields fails.
But, I Do Not want those extra JBO thinggy appearing on UI. How can I get rid of that JBO thiggy (Just "First Name: - FirstName exceeds max limit of 22" looks cool ). How do I suppress JBO thing not to appear. thanks pp
I have pasted following sample.
Error
JBO-27024: Failed to validate a row with key oracle.jbo.Key[[email protected] ] of type GeminiLoginAppModule.TableUsersView
JBO-27025: Failed to validate attribute FirstName with value dfjkdshfjkdshfjksdhfjkdshfjdshfjdshfjkdhfdsf
JBO-27025: Failed to validate attribute LastName with value sdfdsfdsfdsfsdfsdhjkfdsjkfhjkdshfjkdshfjkdshfjskdfs
First Name: - JBO-27010: Attribute set with value dfjkdshfjkdshfjksdhfjkdshfjdshfjdshfjkdhfdsf for FirstName in GeminiLoginAppModule.TableUsersView has invalid precision/scale
First Name: - FirstName exceeds max limit of 22
Last Name: - JBO-27010: Attribute set with value sdfdsfdsfdsfsdfsdhjkfdsjkfhjkdshfjkdshfjkdshfjskdfs for LastName in GeminiLoginAppModule.TableUsersView has invalid precision/scale
Last Name: - LastName exceeds max limit of 22
Hi,
didn't try if th SRDemo code also works for validators, I assume this however. Get SRDemo from help--> check for updates
Expand the UserInterface project and also the node ApplicationSources-->oracle.srdemo.view --> frameworkExt
The package contains a page lifecycle class that in combination with the other classes intercepts JBO error messages to eliminate the JBO-xxxxx content
See the faces-config.xml file how this is added

Want to change length validator message and change field format.
I want to override Length Validator Message as I want to tell the user that phone number
must contain 10 numbers
I've added this validator on the phone field
af:validateLength minimum="10" maximum="10"
hintMinimum="11" hintMaximum="22"
hintNotInRange="33" messageDetailMinimum="44"
messageDetailMaximum="55"
messageDetailNotInRange="66" id="lengthval"/>and this when I enter less than 10 numbers the error message tell that you must enter 10 characters
I want to override this message to be "you must enter 10 numbers"
And I want to make this number format like
XXXX,XXX,XX
How can I make this.Strictly speaking a number in this format is no number. It's a phone number and you should use a regular expression validator for this.
Check http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15051_01/apirefs.1111/e12419/tagdoc/af_validateRegExp.html for more info.

Hi All,
In my application, I have to give a set of inputs...and will get the output on the basis of range set. If I dont give any input, then also BAPI will fetch all the data.
I have to set length validations(fixed, maximum) without using simple type.
How this can be achieved ?
Thanks,
Nikhilhi Rocio, It works. But i'm doing the validation for a column in my table. So, i want the red mark to be in the right row (right now, its always in the last row). Also, i want to stop any other actions, navigations etcs when this validation fails even for a single row. How could i achieve this? Here is my code. I have written my code in wdModify view as i felt thats the best place to make the validation work in every instance.
if (wdContext.nodeVn_ContactPersonaDetails().size() > 0) {
for (int size = 0;
size < wdContext.nodeVn_ContactPersonaDetails().size();
size++) {
String attrValue =
wdContext
.nodeVn_ContactPersonaDetails()
.getVn_ContactPersonaDetailsElementAt(size)
.getVa_lastName();
if (attrValue == null) {
IPrivateCreateCustomerInputView
.IVn_ContactPersonaDetailsElement neCnt =
wdContext.currentVn_ContactPersonaDetailsElement();
wdThis
.wdGetAPI()
.getComponent()
.getMessageManager()
.reportInvalidContextAttributeException(
neCnt,
wdContext
.nodeVn_ContactPersonaDetails()
.getNodeInfo()
.getAttribute(
"va_lastName"),
"Last Name field must be filled!",
false);

UI Bean Input Length Validation
We use a Flex Bean in our Page
<oa:flex id="EgoCatalogGroupKeyFlex" flexStyle="key" flexFieldAppShortName="INV" flexName="MICG" viewName="EgoCatalogGroupsVO"/>
We are facing issues with Inputting Multibyte Characters through the UI , ie : when we give Multibyte Characters in the Flex UI , we are getting DML Exception on commit from the DB Layer.
Since the Flex Bean UI is dynamic (Number of segments enabled), and generated by Framework we can not set the length of the Beans for Flex UI.
Does OA Flex bean takes care of the segment Lengths of the Flex Field ? or can we set this length programatically for the Segment Beans?
Please help.You will have to enable partial page page rendering(PPR) on that input bean and call the validation code on catching this ppr. You can check PPR section of OAF guide or search forum threads for examples.

hi all,
i'm working on module pool, i got field called Mobile number, whose length is 10 chars.
if the user enters less then 10 chars it should give error, how to accomplish this one.
regards
suprithHi,
You can use one of the following function to determine the length of the characters.
strlen
numofchar-Same as for the function strlen, except that in this case when a non-Unicode double-byte code is used, a character that occupies 2 bytes is only counted once.
You can also use Get Cursor..Length Len where Len is of type i.

Message text input Length validation
hi
requirement :
user must enter exact lenght of 5 (not less or not more) charcters in text input.
How to handle this validation.
i understand that we can set maximum lenght for text input bean to 5. but how to handle minimum number of charcter
( do i have to handle in code ?)..is that only way ?
thanks for your time and effortYou will have to enable partial page page rendering(PPR) on that input bean and call the validation code on catching this ppr. You can check PPR section of OAF guide or search forum threads for examples.

Threadinar13 - Double Range, Length & Long Range Validator Components
Hi All,
This is the thirteenth in the Threadinar series. See the Components Threadinar Index at http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=103424 for the complete list to date.
This Threadinar will discuss the 3 components in the "Components Palette: Validator Section" of the Creator Component Catalog.
The components we will focus on today are
"Double Range Validator", "Length Validator" & "Long Range Validator" Components.
Let us begin our discussion with the "Double Range Validator" Component.
[b]What Is a Validator?
If your application collects information from users, for example a login and a password, then it is important that you verify the user data. The IDE provides a set of components for validating user input. These validators, which you access from the Validators section of the Components Palette, are as follows:
[b]Double Range Validator Component
A Double Range validator is typically used to validate that the value of a component does not exceed the standard range of the Java double data type. This data type represents a double floating-point number that ranges from �439E-324 to �1.7976931348623157E+308. Typically, the way you add a validator to a JavaServer Faces component is to edit the component's validator property, which provides a drop-down list from which you can select a validator.
Use a Double Range validator to test whether the user has entered a double data type value within the range defined by the specified minimum and maximum values. The value must be floating-point or convertible to floating-point.
[b]Length Validator Component
A Length validator is used to validate that the length of text entered for a component is no shorter or longer than the values you specify for the validator's min and max properties. The validation occurs after the page is submitted. Typically, the way you add a validator to a JavaServer Faces component is to edit the component's validator property, which provides a drop-down list from which you can select a validator.
Use a Length validator to test whether user has entered a string of a length defined by the specified minimum and maximum values. The value must be a java.lang.String.
[b]Long Range Validator Component
A Long Range validator is used to validate that the value of a component does not exceed the standard range of the Java long data type. This data type is a signed integer that ranges from -263 to 263-1, or
-9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807. Typically, the way you add a validator to a JavaServer Faces component is to edit the component's validator property, which provides a drop-down list from which you can select a validator.
Use a Long Range validator to test whether user has entered an integer of a size defined by the specified minimum and maximum values. The value must be any numeric type or String that can be converted to a long.
You can use more than one validator on an input component to validate for different criteria. When you use a validator, your component also needs a message component to indicate when the validation fails.

On a form w Validation, how to redirect to a custom page
Hi. I have created a form in Dreamweaver CS5 that uses spry validation successfully. Once the form is submitted, the user is redirected to the home page. But I don't want that redirect.
My question is, how can I have the validated page redirect to a custom thank you page I designed? I don't know the exact code/syntax to write to make it do what I want and, even if I had the code, I wouldn't know exactly where it should be placed. Please help if you can. Here's the source code. )BTW, when I use Dreamweaver Behaviors to add a URL redirect, it ignores the required validation and simply allows you to click the submit button and redirect.) Many thanks!

</html>Thanks for replying. The URL you've bolded is actually the correct page I'd like the redirect to go to when the form is successfully submitted after validation. But for some reason, that URL request is being ignored and the redirect brings me back to the index page in the root directory. I don't see anywhere in the code that makes the request to do that. Unless that's a default behavior if I've gotten the redirect wrong?
I don't know if this is helpful, but there is also a .js file that Dreamweaver created and attached to the above HTML source file. The .js file appears to have all the spry code validation including code for features and widgets I'm not even using. I searched through the code several times trying to identify where there might be a redirect to the index page but didn't recognize anything that made sense to me. Here is the complete, unedited file:

2.2.1. Preferred
x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x, where the 'x's are the hexadecimal values of the eight 16-bit pieces of the address.
Examples:
FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210
1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A
Note that it is not necessary to write the leading zeros in an
individual field, but there must be at least one numeral in every
field (except for the case described in 2.2.2.).
2.2.2. Compressed
The use of "::" indicates multiple groups of 16-bits of zeros.
The "::" can only appear once in an address. The "::" can also be
used to compress the leading and/or trailing zeros in an address.
1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A --> 1080::8:800:200C:417A
FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:101 --> FF01::101

Validation of context attributes with adaptive webservice model
Hi, I am creating a Web Dynpro Java application (on top of Netweaver AS 7.0) using an adaptive webservice model to invoke a webservice.
The webservice has some request attributes of type string with limited length (for example limited to 1 character). I bound the model to component controller context and created a mapping between the component controller context and view context. In the view, I created a form which is bound to the context attributes.
When user enters string values, which are longer than the maximum length specified in webservice WSDL, and submits the form, an exception is thrown when Web Dynpro runtime is trying to assign entered values into context attributes:
com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdCheckException: Length of character string "abcdef" must be smaller than or same as MaxLength 1;
at com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdTypeString.checkValid(DdTypeString.java:195)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.model.webservice.base.model.BaseGenericModelClass.setAttributeValue(BaseGenericModelClass.java:304)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.model.webservice.gci.WSTypedModelClass.setAttributeValue(WSTypedModelClass.java:62)
at at.gov.bmf.demo.comp.employee.model.OrganizationalAssignment.setEmployeeGroup(OrganizationalAssignment.java:52)
at at.gov.bmf.demo.comp.employee.wdp.IPublicEmployeeDemo$IOrganizationalAssignmentElement.wdSetObject(IPublicEmployeeDemo.java:1552)
... 32 more
This exception is thrown before my non-validating action is executed, so I am not able to prevent it or handle it.
Is there any way how to catch this exception or prevent it?
Does anyone know where these model restrictions are stored? I searched the XML files generated for the model, but I haven't found anything. Does the Web Dynpro runtime access WSDL everytime it needs to validate request parameters?
Thanks,
TomasNo ,This is the preferred and safer way to separate the Model Node and and Input Node and relationship between them by using mapping.
You create your context structure for input and then on action set user input to model data.
Safer it means : Sometimes it happen that model data not populated properly due to network or wrong user input etc ,this time our presentation will be safe and display the proper error message rather the screen went away with null pointer exception.
Regarding your - it require a lot of work. It too much convince for us that rather than writing 50 lines of code
for only input length validation WebDynpro provides us a better model driven solution.

JSF2.0 Ajax validation Problem
Hello everyone,I'm learning ajax validation of JSF2.0
<h:form>
<h:inputText id="name" value="#{user.name}" validator="#{user.validateName}">
<f:ajax event="keyup" render="nameError"/>
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="name" id="nameError" style="color:red"/>
</h:form>
and user.validateName:
public void validateName(FacesContext fc, UIComponent c, Object value) {
if ( ((String)value).contains("_") )
throw new ValidatorException(new FacesMessage("Name cannot contain underscores"));
and it worked fine before I change the validator to JSF standard length validator:
<h:form>
<h:inputText id="name" value="#{user.name}">
<f:validateLength minmum="5" maxmum="10"/>
<f:ajax event="keyup" render="nameError"/>
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="name" id="nameError" style="color:red"/>
</h:form>
it didn't work then,when I typee in username shorter then 5 or longer then 10 it didn't show any error...
any reply will help me,TKS!FoxInSky wrote:
Hi all:
Could Anybody told me the reason? Why the Ajax button send and receive more data than the traditionally button? Or if there is anything wrong the way I use its internal Ajax library?Perhaps because it sends more information? Why would you care?
>
Another question is: When I clicked the AjaxButton quickly and continually,the page will become unresponsive,and the result from HttpWatch shows Aborted,and sometimes "Abored exception" will be printed out in the console window.If you press the button like that, more and more ajax requests will be done. You could block that by disabling the button after pressing it.
As for "it not working", what about the receiving end of the ajax call? Is the backing bean action actually being run? -
ADF validator or JavaScript for client side validation ?
using JDev and ADF 11g
Problem description : To apply validations such as date range check, pattern matching, maxlength etc.. on ADF Faces Components.
Solution 1: Use ADF validator such as Reg Expr validator, Max Length validator
Souliton 2: Write Javascript code for validating the component's value at cleint side.
When using ADF Validator for such type of validation checking, a request is send to the server for processing (additional overhead) . However we can do such validations with javaScript functions without the need to interact with the server. So, what benefit does ADF Validator serves when one needs to implement such validations ?
Please share your views...H,
afaik, client side validation in ADF Faces suppresses server round trips if a validation error is detected on the client. Only if no problem is found, the server side validation is challenged upon submit (so no extra round trip for validation). Shay is absolutely correct. JavaScript is a convenience but never a solution.
Here's how to create a custom validator with a client and server side implementation : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31973/af_validate.htm#BABEIIDD

Changing Value because of Validator/Converter
Hello,
I'm searching for a quite simple solution for following problem:
I have a textfield with a converter:
<h:inputText size="10" maxlength="10" value="#{organizer.birthday}" >
<f:convertDateTime pattern="dd.mm.yyyy" />
</h:inputText>and on the same page, I have an image:
<h:graphicImage url="images/img.gif" />further, I have another textfield, only for output:
<h:outputText value="blah blah blah"/>I want the url of the graphicImage and the value of the 2nd textfield to change, when an validation-error has occured. How can I manage this?
hoping for help

HanspeterI'm trying to do that with an custom validator... here I got another problem....
Snippet from the ValidatorTag-Class:
// getter and settter -Methods
public StringValidatorTag() {
super();
super.setValidatorId("validator.StringValidator");
protected Validator createValidator() throws JspException {
StringValidator validator = (StringValidator)super.createValidator();
validator.setErrorImageComponentId(errorImageComponentId);
validator.setErrorImageUrl(errorImageUrl);
validator.setFieldName(fieldName);
validator.setLength(length);
validator.setRequired(required);
return validator;
}Snippet from the Validator-Class:
// getter and settter -Methods
public StringValidator() {
super();
public void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value)
throws ValidatorException {
if (context == null || component == null) throw new NullPointerException();
context.addMessage("test",
new FacesMessage("Sie haben beim Feld '"+fieldName+"' keinen Wert eingetragen!"));
/* here I want to change the url from the image-component
* but there is another problem first to solve
* (fieldName is empty) */
}I made the entries in the faces-config.xml and into an tld for this tag, but it seems to be, that the values specified in the tag aren't assigned to the Validator....

Hi
ADF BC Application
I am trying to Keep EO Based Validations in my page.
I have an attribute called Server Name in EO. For this, I want to keep 2 validations.
1. Length should be >=6
2. Should be unique(no duplicates)
For the First Validation, I have used Length Validator like this
Attribute : ServerName
Operator : Greater Than
comparision:char
Enter Length :5
error Message : Server Name should be 6 characters long
For the Second Validation , I have taken list validator.
But , suppose, I give servername lessthan 6 characters then it gives error message for both validations. I dont understand it.
and even for duplicate validation also , it gives error msg even if it is not duplicate
Please Help me.
ThanksHi,
Your first validation rule looks correct, maybe there is an error in the second one. Check you have select "List Validator", "Your Attribute", "NotIn", "Query Result" and have entered for query something like "select YourAttribute from YourTable". It seems your second validation rule is systematically called, also it's possible that you selected "In" instead of "NotIn".
Hope that help,
Regards,
Tif
