error trapping...

[t4nu]

Hi,
I try to do an error trap, when something classified as error happen, I invoke event.owner.adderrormessage, but the if after that error message displayed, then the user doing the allowable did, still that error come up.
What should I do to prevent that to happen?

If you still get the error message, it means the error is still being generated by the script. It sounds like there's something wrong with your code, could you add it to this post.

Here is the code:

The function below will try to add a new user and if the email registered is already exists it will trigger the error message. The problem is, even if the email is change to an absolutely new (never registered) email address, still the it assumed already exists.

Code: Select all

function RegisterNewUser()
{
	
	var lSuccess = true;
	var newReg = system.sequenceManager.sequence('APPLICANT');
	tables.APPLICANTUSER.insertRow();
	tables.APPLICANTUSER.EMAILADDRESS.value = fields.emailAddress.value;
	tables.APPLICANTUSER.REALNAME.value     = fields.RealName.value;
	tables.APPLICANTUSER.PASSWORD.value     = Transpose(fields.Password.value.trim());
	tables.APPLICANTUSER.APPLICANTID.value  = newReg;

	try
	{
	   tables.APPLICANTUSER.updateTable();
	}
	catch (ex)
	{
		lSuccess = false;
		controls.msgPanel.hidden = false;
		if (ex.javaException instanceof com.ebasetech.xi.exceptions.FormRuntimeException)
		   event.owner.addErrorMessage("Email address: " + fields.emailAddress.value + " is already registered!")
		else
 		   event.owner.addErrorMessage(ex.message);
	}

	if (lSuccess)
	{		
		SendConfirmationLink(newReg);
	}
	else
	{
	  event.owner.addErrorMessage("Unknown problem happen that prevent your data entered to the system.")
	}
}

If you still get the error message, it means the error is still being generated by the script. It sounds like there's something wrong with your code, could you add it to this post.

Your code assumes that any failure in the updatetable() is a duplicate record, which it might not be. I suggest you add log(ex) or print(ex) to the catch clause so you can see exactly what is going wrong.

IC.
I changed the code and seems everything is fine now.
Thanks.
