Re: UI error messages
Manual error messages need to be hand coded in the application. If that is not done you will get a message like you mentioned. So if you would like to contribute, there is a task for you here?

Re: UI error messages
the actual cause for this error was missing preferredCurrencyUomId in party. This happened because it is an optional field during party creation and/or it was supposed to have a proper default for this attribute (in properties file ??). I raised an issue for it. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3482 But please respond to the actual question that whether should we display a user friendly message on error? thanks, \Babu. From: Babu Sreekanth To: user@ofbiz.apache.org Sent: Tue, February 16, 2010 1:53:04 AM Subject: UI error messages Hello, In quite few screens the sql error is displayed in the UI if an entity operation results in error (esp. foreign key violation. One example, I created an organization through Ofbiz Setup, and tried to create an invoice. It shows a long exception message in the user screen (which is useful, but more useful for a technical person. In that sense, it is available in the log files). The reason could be easily seen in the log file. stack trace --- ERROR 23503: INSERT on table 'INVOICE' caused a violation of foreign key constraint 'INVOICE_CUOM' for key (defaultCurrencyUomId). The statement has been rolled back. org.apache.derby.iapi.error.StandardException.newException(Unknown Source) org.apache.derby.impl.sql.execute.ForeignKeyRIChecker.doCheck(Unknown Source) After a bit of debugging, I found the Party Accounting Preference needs to be available (in UI, through Accounting --> ORG GL Settings --> setup). Do you think it would be more useful for the user to have a text "The accounting setup needs to be completed before " in the UI than the exception message. I hope the end user also create parties etc. Thanks, Babu.
