This depends on how you are doing your validation.

 

If you are using the standard validators that are properties of the xPages controls, then you can simply set the message property for the validator, and then use Display Error or Display Errors controls to display the message when validation fails (i.e. your code returns false). 

 

If however you are trying to create your own SSJS in a script library to validate then add the following function to your code:

 

function postValidationError(control, msg) {

    if ((typeof msg) != "string")

            return;

    var msgObj = new javax.faces.application.FacesMessage(

    javax.faces.application.FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, msg, msg);

    facesContext.addMessage(control.getClientId(facesContext), msgObj);

    control.setValid(false);

}

 

This will send the message you pass in to the Display Error control for the field you are validating. 

Thanks in advance.

 

But can you be bit clear in guiding as a result I can implement them and see.. Because am newbie in ssjs validation. I can do csjs validation. Pls be step wise for doing.

5. Show dialog box like dialog name.show() and return false.

Hi Swapnil,

 

 

Thanks and Nice of you..

 

I have created a Custom control with a computed field.

That computed field is mapped to Session scope with variable name displayerror

 

Then added Dialog with the custom control in it.

 

But i don find anything working..

 

Can you help me out pls

Here is the CC to show validation msg to the user.

 

on the OK button in the msgbox control, you need to add the below code line:

getComponent("MsgBoxDialog").hide().

In the validation funciton or script,put the validation msg to a var, in this case it is: ValidateMsg.

if (ValidateMsg!="")
    {  getComponent("MsgBoxDialog").show()
       getComponent("ValidateMsgBox").setValue(ValidateMsg)
       return false;
    }

Please note that MsgBoxDialog is the name of the Dialog box.
The combo box where messages are stored, its name is: ValidateMsgBox

 

Let me know if any questions.

 

Regards,

Pranesh Vaidya

 

 

Here is the XML code for the custom control:
