Syntax

void = Functions.throwError(String key [, String[] args])</pre>

If no arguments are needed (for example, for a label in the #custom category), use:

Functions.throwError("#custom.label",null)

• If no key is configured in the translation workbench, then the passed key is returned

Example

This example checks a parameter passed to it to see if it is equal to "Acme". If it is, the code calls throwError to display an error message saying that the account cannot be "Acme".

if(requestParams.get("name").equals("Acme")) { // message "Account cannot be Acme" will be shown to the user in the UI. Functions.throwError("Account cannot be Acme"); } else { // Normal business logic. } To include new lines in the message, specify <br>: Functions.throwError(“Include <br> for <br> newline”);
