URL Validator

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I had downloaded common validator from http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/ABC/Downloadcommonsvalidator131jar.htm and imported to my project library.

private boolean ValidateUrl(){

IWDMessageManager manager = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();

UrlValidator urlValidator = new UrlValidator();

boolean urlOK;

//valid URL

if (urlValidator.isValid("http://www.mkyong.com")) {

manager.reportSuccess("url is valid");

urlOK = true;

} else {

manager.reportException("url is invalid", true);

urlOK = false;

}

return urlOK;

}

However at runtime, i get the error:

The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/validator/UrlValidator

at com.emi.AddNewItemView.ValidateUrl(AddNewItemView.java:878)

What could it be the cause of error? Is the common validator supported by SAP NetWeaver?

Thanks & Regards,

Lai

Hi,

It's best practice to store external jars in an External Library which can be referenced in your Web Dynpro application.

Hi

Did you imported files into lib folder under project folder and added jars from project settings?
