When any error popup is closed, focus should get set to in the field in which error is present

User_LUSW8

Hi,

We have required input fields in our page, when we are not filling all fields and clicking on next button will get error popup. When we close that popup, focus should be set the that field only but focus is going to other actionable item. Please suggest something. Which property to add to set focus on that field in ADF.

I am using Jdev version: Studio Edition Version 12.2.1.4.0

User, show us how you have configured to show the error popup, please.

How should this work if you have multiple errors?

Hi,

This is code snnipet for jsff:

af:panelLabelAndMessage label="#{bindings.FirstName.hints.label}*" id="plam1" styleClass="firstLabel">

          <f:facet name="end">

          <af:inputText value="#{bindings.FirstName.inputValue}" 

                label="#{bindings.FirstName.hints.label}"

                simple="true" 

                 required="#{bindings.FirstName.hints.mandatory}"  

                 columns="#{bindings.FirstName.hints.displayWidth}"

                 maximumLength="#{bindings.FirstName.hints.precision}"

                 shortDesc="#{bindings.FirstName.hints.tooltip}" id="it1" 

                 binding="#{backingBeanScope.clauseSearchBackingBean.firstNameBind}">

            <f:validator binding="#{bindings.FirstName.validator}"/>

          </af:inputText>

          </f:facet>

        </af:panelLabelAndMessage>

And code snnipet for Bean class:

else if(FirstName==null){     

      FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();  

      FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, null, "Please enter First Name");

      context.addMessage(null, msg);

Please find Screen shot for reference:

Have you tried what happens if you set the error message to the component instead of putting it to the global list?

For this, you have to add the client id of the component to the addMessage method like

FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_WARN, msgHead , msgDetail);
facesContext.addMessage(uiComponent.getClientId(facesContext), msg);

What is msgHead here?

Have you checked the documentation?

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17802_01/j2ee/javaee/javaserverfaces/2.0/docs/api/javax/faces/application/FacesMessage.html#FacesMessage(javax.faces.application.FacesMessage.Severity,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)

Yes. I have checked the document. In my case what the uiComponent and msgHead? For me, we are passing null

else if(FirstName==null){     

      FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();  

      FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, null, "Please enter First Name");

      context.addMessage(null, msg);

Timo Hahn

Sorry, but the doc is pretty clear about the parameters, isn't it?

The first parameter is the severity, the second parameter is a string that is shown as a summary, and the third is the message detail.

An easy task is to just put "Hello" as the second parameter and "world" as the third parameter. Then see what happens.

The next doc to check is the one for FacesContext.addMessage(...)

https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/faces/context/FacesContext.html#addMessage-java.lang.String-javax.faces.application.FacesMessage-

Here you can add the clientId of the component the error message should be attached to.
