generating error message

[Amritha Ganga]

Hi All,

I had a question. In my application, if i select home address from a drop down menu and click "get home address" check box , the system autopopulates home address for me. If i select something else, abd tries to submit it, the system generates an error saying line 1 should be given if it is not the home address. I have created another checkbox for Office visit, which generates office address. But i have a problem with the following code (this is the one which generates error).
How can i include code so that the system will generate error if i select any other option from drop down other than home and "office". Basically i need to add office visit error also to this one (HOME_VISIT "or" OFFICE_VISIT")

//validation to check if the app type is not home visit and no location given
        if ((!appointmentType.equals(HOME_VISIT) ||
                                    ((String)event.readParameter(GET_HOME_ADDRESS) == null))
           && (OIMSUtility.trimString((String)event.readParameter(LOCATION_LINE1)) == null))
        {
            CustomValidationError cErr = new CustomValidationError(LOCATION_LINE1,
                                                                   FILL_LINE1,
                                                                                      "");
            validationErrors.put(LOCATION_LINE1, cErr);
        }
        //validation to check if the app type is not home visit and no location given
    

Please help me friends..

Hi Amritha,

What exactly the error are you getting? I would go as follows.

boolean isHomeSeleceted = //Logic to retrieve the input for Home
boolean isOfficeSeleceted = //Logic to retrieve the input for Office

if(!isHomeSelected && !isOfficeSelected)
{
   //code to handle an erroneous condition -- throwing an error!
}

Hope this helps!
