Errors and Error Handling

For CRUD operations, the errors object specifies null or an array of objects in the following format:

{

fac : "SBL-ODU-MSG_NUMBER", // error code

msg : "MSG_TEXT" // error message

}

For example, for response.errors[0]:

{

fac : "SBL-ODU-00271",

msg : "Invalid value for the parameter:objectName."

}

Example Code of How to Deal with the Error Object

You must implement your own error handing in custom JavaScript code. As an example of how to deal with the error object, the following is a callback function that displays error codes and error messages from CRUD operations.

function callback(request,response){

var data = "data: ";

var status = response.status;

var error = "error: "

if (status == "OK")

error += status;

else

error += response.errors[0].fac + "\n" + response.errors[0].msg;

var dataObj = response.data;

if (dataObj != null)

data += "Id = " + response.getRowId() + ", Mod Id = " + response.getModId();

else

data += "Data is Null";

alert(data + "\n" + status + "\n" + error);

}

});

A guideline is to use the error code in error handling rather than the error message. This is recommended because the error code is language independent, but the error message is not. Code like the following only works in English:

if (response.errors[0].msg == "No records found")
