sapui 5 exception handling

[Former Member]

Hey,

i am currently writing my first program using sapui5.
i have already implemented all CRUD functions.
my question:
in my CREATE function i am calling another function to check the input. now i want to implement EXCEPTIONS into my programm. how do i get the EXCEPTIONS thrown at the backend to my frontend page. so as an example:
i want to create an entry, but this entry already exists in my database.
so my CREATE_ENTITY function would throw an exception.
how do i show this exception in the frontend. currently this is my call to the create function:

 oModel.create('/RoomsSet', oNewRoom, { success : function(oData, oResponse) { 

sap.m.MessageToast.show("Room succesfully created! Reload Page to see changes"); 
sap.ui.getCore().byId("Popup").destroy(); 
},

error : function(oError) { 

sap.m.MessageToast .show("There was an Error creating the room");

 } 

});

Thank you for your help. Best Regards, Martin

Put a breakpoint or use console.log(oError). In most case error will be under node message.

var oXML = jQuery.parseXML(oError.response.body);
var oXMLMsg = oXML.querySelector("message");
MessageBox.error(oXMLMsg.textContent);

Hi,

I assume you are using the ODataModel (https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#docs/api/symbols/sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel.html#create). This is a JavaScript-Promise, so you need to handle it a bit different:

 oModel.create('/RoomsSet', oNewRoom)
.then(function(oData, oResponse) {
     sap.m.MessageToast.show("Room succesfully created! Reload Page to see changes"); 
     sap.ui.getCore().byId("Popup").destroy(); 
})
.catch(function(oError) { 
    sap.m.MessageToast.show("There was an Error creating the room");
});

If your OData service is returning any exception/error messages then those would be available within the oError parameter of the error callback function. You can check by setting a breakpoint in the error callback function in Chrome's developer console within the Source tab and check what values are retrieved in the oError parameter.

I just used this code.

RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE /iwbep/cx_mgw_busi_exception<br>  EXPORTING<br>      textid = /iwbep/cx_mgw_busi_exception=>business_error_unlimited<br>       message_unlimited = 'Your message text'.

So if i make a wrong call to the Backend ( for example using a room_id that already exists). it says "There was an Error creating the room" and in the chrome debugger is see my error message: 'Your message text'.

Is there a way to show 'Your message text' inside my MessageToast ?


Edit: i found a work around:
i was looking through the error message in the console and found this workaround.

messageText = oError.responseText.split('message')[3];
	sap.m.MessageToast.show(messageText);						

Thank you for your input.
