Exceptions with Task-Level Validation

With task-level validation errors, AttributeValidationException is thrown as shown in the following table:

Rule Type	How Thrown	Error Message Source
Regular expression	By CA IdentityMinder if the regular expression validation fails.	CA IdentityMinder uses a generalized exception message.
JavaScript	By CA IdentityMinder if the validate() method returns False.	The errorMessage parameter of the validate() method.
Java	By the custom validation rule or by CA IdentityMinder. CA IdentityMinder throws the exception when the custom rule does not and the custom rule’s validate() method returns False.	One of the following sources: If the custom validation rule throws the exception, the exception’s constructor. The constructor lets you specify the ID of a message in a resource bundle and the text of an additional message. If CA IdentityMinder throws the exception, the errorMessage parameter of the validate() method.

Error Message Source

Regular expression

By CA IdentityMinder if the regular expression validation fails.

CA IdentityMinder uses a generalized exception message.

JavaScript

By CA IdentityMinder if the validate() method returns False.

The errorMessage parameter of the validate() method.

Java

By the custom validation rule or by CA IdentityMinder.

CA IdentityMinder throws the exception when the custom rule does not and the custom rule’s validate() method returns False.

One of the following sources:

If the custom validation rule throws the exception, the exception’s constructor. The constructor lets you specify the ID of a message in a resource bundle and the text of an additional message.
If CA IdentityMinder throws the exception, the errorMessage parameter of the validate() method.

If the validation rule implementation does not provide an error message, CA IdentityMinder uses a generalized error message.
