Display Custom Error Message in OIM 11g

user4173086

Hi,

I'm trying to display an error message from a validation event handler but seems that am missing something. When the "oracle.iam.platform.kernel.ValidationFailedException" is thrown from a validation handler an error message is displayed: "An error occurred". If an error code is provided (see code below) then the message looks like: "An error occurred. The corresponding error code is ERR-0001". I guess that some resource bungle with corresponding messages should be provided.

the code used:

package test;

public class UserGeneralValidationHandler implements oracle.iam.platform.kernel.spi.ValidationHandler
{
...

@Override
public void validate(long processId, long eventId, Orchestration orchestration)
throws ValidationException
{
...
String errorCode = "ERR-0001";
String message = "Simple validation message.";

ValidationFailedException ex = new ValidationFailedException(message);
ex.setProcessID(processId);
ex.setErrorCode(errorCode);

throw ex;
}


Q:
1.What is missing for complete solution?
2.What is the algorithm that used by OIM to find default or non default resource bundle?
3.How to change out-of-box validation messages? For a sample "The organization ABC does not exist." message is shown if non existing organization is provided during user creation and I'd like to have a different one.

If you want to throw your own messages, please have a look at the agent...properties files in oracle/iam/request/agentry/resources in OIMUI.jar, you should do something like this in the code:

String msg = "Note[PROBLEM].text:Problem has occurred:";
throw new InvalidRequestDataException(msg);

in all agent.properties files then you should define
Note[PROBLEM].text=Problem has occurred

• rename OIMUI.jar  to OIMUI.zip
• find logging_en and loggin.properties.
• Modify the "IAM-2050512" error message with your custom message
• Find Agent and agent_en.properties.
• Find Note[ERROR_SUBMITTING_REQUEST].text.  Modify the message. Make sure the message must be the same with in logging.properties("IAM_2050512")

Deploy

• change the  OIMUI.zip to jar
• replace the existing OIMUI.jar
• login to weblogic  and redeploy OIM (oim.ear)

no need to restart OIM server.

Test:

• create a request in web console again, you must see the custom message when you hit the submit button

hope this helps.
