12.1 Introduction to Adding Validation to Integrated Excel Workbook

You configure server-side and client-side validation for the Fusion web application and the integrated Excel workbook to make use of the validation options offered by the ADF Model Layer and Microsoft Excel. In addition to these validation options, you can make use of components in ADF Desktop Integration to return error messages from the Fusion web application, to provide status on the results of component actions, and to manage errors that may occur when data is changed in an integrated Excel workbook conflict with data hosted by the Fusion web application.

12.2 Providing Server-Side Validation for an Integrated Excel Workbook

ADF Desktop Integration uses the validation rules that the ADF Model Layer sets for a binding’s attributes. Data that the end user enters or edits in one of the ADF Desktop Integration components, such as the ADF Table component, can be validated against set rules and conditions in the Fusion web application. For general information about defining validation rules in Oracle ADF, see the Defining Validation and Business Rules Declaratively chapter in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developers Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework. For information about adding ADF Model layer validation, see the Adding ADF Model Layer Validation section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developers Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework. 12-2 Desktop Integration Developers Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework
