How can I validate my custom attributes before it imports ?

Hi all,

Can any one help me that I am importing documents where I need to validate some attribute and has to display messages on import page it should not allow me to import until and unless it meet the requirment.

suppose I have an attrinute Like cust_amount if user enters 0 value it should display an error message in import jsp and it should not allow me to import until and unless I give the cust_amount > 0.

For this I had customized import_component.xml file and I wrote validate(); I had attached file to this thread.here I had created one control in importContent.jsp .but it is not displaying any message and it is importing a document, if I enters a value as 0.

You can apply constraint at the attribute level using Composer. This doesnt require any customization to the component.

First I would suggest that you try the attribute level constraint approch as Johnny has recommended. If that is acceptable then it will work for all well behaved clients (now and future) ....

But if you want more interaction then I suggest you investigate how the WDK "RequiredFieldValidator" works. I extended this to create an isNumeric validator... was for database lookup so could not use object level constraints

Which version of CS are you using. As Johnny said, try to define this constraint at modeling phase (with DAB or Composer).
