A problem regarding Date?

[Former Member]

hi

I have made a input fieldUI element of type date.I want a error to come when user dosenot enter this field .

I am doing it in this fashion:

view.java

//wdInit()

{

this.intialize();

}

//

void intialize()

{

wdContext.currentcontextElement.setInputfield(new Date(0));

}

//void checkMandotry(java.lang.FieldName)

{

all that to generate error message.

}

//onMyActionClick

void onMyActionclick()

{

Date date1=wdContext.currentelement.getAttributeValue();

if(date1.equals(new Date(0))

{

this.CheckMandotry()

}

}

But in my application 01/01/1970 comes by default on my inputfield which i donot want?

How to do this?

Please help me

Hi

//To Get Blank value in Date Field Use

wdContext.currentcontextElement.setInputfield(null);

//To Get the current Date

wdContext.currentcontextElement.setInputfield(new Date());

Hi

When you check

Before assign the value check the context value is null.

Date orderdate =null;

if(wdContext.current<node>Element().getorderdate()!=null){

orderdate=wdContext.current<node>Element().getorderdate();

}else{

//Do the Rest

}

if(orderdate ==null||shipmentdate==null|| maturitydate==null)

{

//some error arises

}

what error occurs?

//before the condition check the null value

if(orderdate!=null && shipmentdate!=null && maturitydate!=null){

if(orderdate.before(shipmentdate)||maturitydate.before(shipmentdate)

{

//some error arsises

}

}

Kind Regards

Hi Nidhideep,

You are getting NullPointer becaue, you are comparing (before()) with null value.

To Avoid NullPointer you can do this.

<b>if</b>(orderdate == null||shipmentdate == null|| maturitydate == null)

{

//Some Error Msgs

}<b> elseif</b> (orderdate.before(shipmentdate)||maturitydate.before(shipmentdate))

){

//Some Error Msgs

}

Hope it may solved ur problem.

Hi,

You can use the below code to check.

If you dont want to see anything in the input field, just dont intialize with any value in the intialize().

Date dd = wdContext.currentContextElement().getDate1();

if(dd == null ){

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Empty");

checkRequired();

}else{

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Not Empty");

}

Hi,

I think you can intialize date attribute with null

Hi Nidhideep,

Instead of

new Date(0)

use just

new Date()

and it will come with current date.
