Call 'Save' business rule from Javascript Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Is it possible to call the 'Save' business rule from javascript? I would like to do some error checking from an external js file and 'save' the form if all checks out. Thanks

Steve:

Seems to me that what you are looking for is for Client Side validation. I don't think that you could call the "Save" business rule without actually Posting the PAge and Saving.

Add your validation code on a Javascript file, attach it to your form and invoke it on the click of the save button. If your validation fails, return false so that the form doesn't get posted.
Now, if your Save business rule requires Querying the DB (e.g. Check for Existing IsPrimary, or to prevent duplicates), you will also need to from your Javascript call a Server Page that executes that code.

I think this is similar to something I tried to do, because I had a value changed in java which needed to be saved, server side code could only see the old value etc etc anyway I had the luxury of using custom forms so I just used AJAX to call entity business rules without refreshing the page.

You could use the java function '__doPostBack' to accomplish something like this if you were using external java files perhaps. I don't think you're going to be able to avoid calling the rules from the server though.
