Re: How can I handle validation exception?

[Νίκος Παράσχου]

The following code works fine:

        context.setValidatingObjectsOnCommit(false);

        ValidationResult validationResult = new ValidationResult();
        company.validateForInsert(validationResult);

        if(validationResult.hasFailures()) {
            List failures = validationResult.getFailures();

            for(int i = 0; i < failures.size(); i++) {
                ValidationFailure tmp = (ValidationFailure)
failures.get(i);
                System.out.println("\n" + tmp.getDescription());
            }
        }
        else {
            context.commitChanges();
        }

If I don't lower the flag ValidatingObjectsOnCommit (which means "dirty"
objects will be validated automatically), how can I handle the
validation failures?

Is there any way to do something like the following:

try {
        context.commitChanges();
}
catch(Some ValidationException thrown earlier) {
        // Get failures list and print error messages.
}
