want to know if any validation exists

[soumya jyoti guru]

Hi all,
        I  am facing a problem while validating two dates used in the
same form (start date, end date).I have written a code
for create and there I had included two fields named as start date and
end date.
       The problem is that the data gets created even if the start
date=2010-09-30 and the end date=2010-09-01 which changes the meaning
of the two fields.Can anybody suggest me a way to show a error
message while this is done.
with regards
Soumya

Hi Soumya,

   You can do validation in your simple method by using condition like:

               <condition>
                    <or>
                        <and>
                            <not><if-empty
field="parameters.thruDate"/></not>
                            <if-compare-field operator="less"
field="timeEntry.fromDate" to-field="parameters.thruDate"/>
                        </and>
                        <if-empty field="parameters.thruDate"/>
                    </or>
                </condition>

     Refer

  Hello Soumya,

You can handle it by two ways :

1) Add a check in the service if the End Date is greater then Start Date
then throw an error message.

2) You can also handle it by JavaScript, if the dates are not correct
and restrict user to submit.  I had updated a patch which is doing
something like this, you can refer it.
