how to call message rule from edit validate
Can you please let me know how can we reference a message rule from a edit validate to display the error message on screen.
In the below example, i wish to use Message Rule instead of adding hard coded message.
if(b4 == true)
return true;
else
{
theProperty.addMessage("Invalid Phone");
return false;
}

Hi Govardhan ,
Before looking to your reply, i tried that only and came here to reply on Ashish message that creating the Message Rule in base class solved the issue.
Thank You Ashish and Govardhan.
But i am not sure why it is not working when the rule is in my class.

Hi Nitesh,
This is a public API which also accept the message rule.
theProperty.addMessage("RuleMessageKey\tText1\tText2...");
where RuleMessageKey is a key to a Rule-Message rule, and the optional
Text1, Text2 and so on are text values — separated by a backslash and literal
t character — that supply values for the numbered parameters {1}, {2},... in the message rule text

Hi Ashish
I have a Message rule named as "ValidPhone"
adding the same in the addMessage within quote displays **ValidPhone itself on screen.
I used like this
theProperty.addMessage("ValidPhone");
Please correct if i missed anything.

I tried following method from where i can understand, just referencing the edit validate rule wont work. There must be some other referencing also.
In edit validate rule, i added,
theProperty.addMessage("InvalidDateValue"); ---- where InvalidDateValue is pega provided Message rule. Modified the message rule and set as "Invalid Postcode" in the rule.
Error Message is displayed as "Invalid Postcode"
theProperty.addMessage("InvalidPostcode"); --- where InvalidPostcode is the message rule i created. Here also i set message as "Invalid Postcode"
Error Message is displayed as "**InvalidPostcode"

Hi Nitesh,
I just wrote a sample activity where i do property validate and call an edit validate and also define theerror message as follows. Note i donot give message in my edit validate rule, but just return false.
i get the error message as expected.
Note in the generated java of teh activity it is using same API for addmessage.
...
if (okay_to_validate_1) {
editValidateStatus_1 = tools
.editValidate(pz_2, "IsInteger");
if (editValidateStatus_1 == false) {
pz_2.addMessage("IntegerValueBadFormat");

Validating the property in activity or validation rule on submit of flow action is different scenario. There are numerous way to do that and customized.
But i am more interested in just using a Edit Validate rule, Message Rule, and a property. I will add this edit validate rule in the property which in turns calls the Message rule to display error.
If we are using any Message Rule that Pega have provided, it works like a charm. But if we create a new message rule and use the same, issue arrises.
I guess Pega is storing all the Pega Provided message rule name somewhere to fetch and display.
Ashish Agrawal : Method you provided has 2 concern which does not satisfy my requirement
1. Use of Method Property-Validate. It requires activity to call this method.
2. Use of Pega provided message rule.

Hi Nitesh,
I just created a custom message rule and even then it works for me. Regarding uisng activity, that's just one thing i did but i checked the generated jav code and it uses same API so, you shd be good with that.
Ideally OOB emssage rule or custom one would work exactly same.
However if you are facing the issue, i would request you to send the exact code of your edit validate rule and i will try the same in my local.

The issue of only out-of-box errors showing up rather than your customer errors might be alleviated by turning off client-side-validation. Please see SA-12265 .

boolean retval=false;
if ((theValue!= null) && (theValue.length() > 0))
{
java.util.regex.Pattern p =
java.util.regex.Pattern.compile("[0-9]");
java.util.regex.Matcher m= p.matcher(theValue);
retval = m.find();
if(retval)
theProperty.addMessage("DigitNotAllowed");
}
return true;
