Error message communication to user

[Former Member]

What would be the best way to communicate error messages to the user in WD ? Is this via pop-ups or is there a better approach. Say a file cannot be found, how can a view controller pop-up an appropriate message ? Since I am working on a short-term project, need a quick solution on this.

Thanks !

Hi Srikanth

Well if u r displaying messages then you should use the MessageManager of WebDynpro to do so. You can maintain your custom messages in a Message Pool and then display them using a MessageManager.

If you want to display errors, warnings and information then the message manager is useful.

But say in case of warnings you want the decision to be taken by the user as to whether he wants to accept the warning or not then you could go for a confirmation dialog in this case. It depends on your scenario.

But if its just messages and no decision to be taken by the user then you can use the message Manager.

It would be better in a long term project to use the message pooling.

However if it is a very small one and would not require frequent changes you cna go in for a pop-up
