Re: Data validation, mapping, and error handling

Joe,

Thanks for your reply. It impressed me that you put together a comparable example in a short amount of time.

I gather from your code sample that record validation and mapping occur automatically outside your JSFHandler. When I initiated this thread, I suspected that might be the case, and agree that it raises the bar to have the record filled in automatically by the framework. What would it take to add a validation to the date field, where a valid value is say a 3 month range from the order date?

I'm not sure, Nathan. And I don't say that flippantly; I THINK you can specify a range and use a field as one of the range boundaries, but I'm not certain, and it's really something of a moot point. Obviously, there will come a time when the editing will require business logic - actual code. But the good news is that adding the EGL code is very simple.

I was able to easily create the date, and add an interval of three months. I was unable, however, to add the date range as easily as I had expected.
