Validate datatype of an attribute

Question

Hi,
Need to validate whether value of an attribute is an instance of the datatype of the attribute.
Will the following code work ?
IWDNodeElement element = wdContext.nodePlants.getCurrentElement();
IWDAttributeInfo attrInfo = (IWDAttributeInfo)element;
if (element.getAtrributeText("test") instanceof attrInfo.getDataType()){
  //code here
Do let me know.
Thanks !

Hi
See u need not write any piece of code suppose where u r trying to Validate will Take care of that but ur Action shuld be Validating Action instead of Non-Validating  Action.
See the Order of Actions is
1. WebDynpro will Validate First its own rules
2.  Next is ur customized Validations will Take Place.
Try having some Empty Action on Input Field i.e onEnter of InputField Like that
See while creating Action for the Button Submission u Dont Check the CheckBox.
if u check it webDynpro will not Validate if not it Validates.
Hi
U need to check whether it is null or not but need not Validate whether it is Numeric or Not.
