column-level validation questions

Classic Servoy
1

I’m checking out the cool column-level validation features of 3.5 and I have a few questions.

Say I create a GlobalMethodValidator on a column called city that returns false for invalid data.

  1. In the Java Client it works great - I can’t leave the field unless I put valid data in it. In the Web Client, I can get out of the field if I just hit tab twice. Is this a bug?

  2. If the user enters invalid data, I get a default Servoy ‘Invalid Input’ message in a dialog (Java Client only). If I want to customize that message, I can display the message I want in the global validator method, but then I will get both my message and the default Servoy-generated mesage. To suppress the Servoy-generated message I am creating an onError method that does this:

var e = arguments[0];
if (e.isServoyException)
{
  if (e.getErrorCode() == ServoyException.INVALID_INPUT)
  {
	  return;
  }
}

Is there a smarter way to customize my validation messaging or is this it?

Thank you.
