Hi Peter,

Try doing in following approach

1. Get the entered date value YYYY-mm-dd and replace into YYYYmmdd format.

Get the current system date and compare with entered date

ValidFrom = wdContext.currentContextElement().getValidFrom();

if(ValidFrom!=null)

from = ValidFrom.toString().replaceAll("-","");

else

// Show message Date value is null

2. if(enteredDate > currentDate)//YYYYmmdd > YYYYmmdd

// Show message entered Date should not greater than today date

3. current year YYYY - 0018 = NewYYYYmmdd // subract the eighteen years

if(enteredDate > NewYYYmmdd)

// manager.reportWarning("Entered date should be 18 years less than current date");

4. if(YYYYmmdd < 19080101) // entered date < 19080101

// manager.reportWarning("Entered date should not be less than 19080101");

Getting current date:

you can also search here for date validations(formatting etc).

Hi Guys, Thank you very much.

As I am beginner and the eay you explained help me to start the task. Finally made it to work.

Calendar dateOfBirth = Calendar.getInstance();

Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance();

if(wdContext.currentContextElement().getDOB() != null){

dateOfBirth.setTime(wdContext.currentContextElement().getDOB());

}

int age = today.get(Calendar.YEAR) - dateOfBirth.get(Calendar.YEAR);

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Age : "+age);

if (wdContext.wdContext.currentContextElement().getDOB()==null || wdContext.wdContext.currentContextElement().getDOB().after(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()))|| age <= 15 || age >100 )

{

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Please enter the valid date of birth", false);

}

else

{

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("You enter valid date");

}

Any comments welcome.

Thanks Guys .

Rewarded points.
