Required InputField

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I've created a context in my Custom Controller like as follow:

Person -> Value Node

IdPerson -> Attribute (java.lang.Long)

Name -> Atrribute (string)

In my view, i've defined the State of InputField to required, when i run the Application, the field appears with *, but when i call a action, the required isn't verified.

The action isn't with the "Without validation" option selected.

Does anybody knows what can i do to enable the required validation automatically?

Thanks

Hi Isaias,

Setting the property to required only gives the red * next to the field but doesnot validate automatically.

You need to write the code for validation yourself.

Hope that helps,

Thanks,

Dynpro framework validates numeric fields as mandatory anyways, so the inputfield can't be empty or contain non-numeric chars , you can still validate for a valid ID tho :).

If you are referring to your <Name> inputfield, well you can validate the same way i explained here:

[Dynamic validation regardless UI element|;

Hi Isaias,

Check this PDF: [Validations|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/837d9290-0201-0010-1381-e633fe17cb14]

Hi Isaias,

You can proceed in this way

e.g. if language is the required field, then

try

{

if(wdContext.nodeLanguage_Key_Node().currentLanguage_Key_NodeElement().getCtx_language_key_node().trim().equals(""))

{ wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Enter Language", true);

}

}

catch(Exception e1)

{

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Enter Language", true); }

and then you call this function whenever you want.

if you want to put asterik mark dynamically , you can create a context variable ( lets say ctx_State) of the type state and then assign it to the state proprty of the input field.

and then write the code as:

wdContext.currentContextElement().setCtx_State(WDState.REQUIRED);

Hope this helps,

Thanks & Regards,
