EIS - Brio Javascript - Handling Errors

[sharla724]

I am asking users to enter their Oracle User ID and Password into EIS Text Boxes and then connecting using the Connection object. If the user does not enter a correct login I want to be able to access the Oracle error message and display it with an alert, so that I can let them know that they don't have a proper login or that they need to re-enter it. The Connect method returns an object, so I can't use the return value. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,

Sharla

Hi Sharla,

you should surround your connect-statement with try/catch. In case of an error the catch block is executed, where you can start an alert. It looks like that:

try {
   ...Datamodel.Connection.connect()
} catch (error)
{
   Alert(error.toString())
   // return if you like to end the method
}
