Validate input

Input parameters should be mapped in the Request Input section of the operation. They can be accessed via VoltMxRequest.getInputParam().

If a request parameter was passed to Foundry but not explicitly mapped in the integration service, it is still available in VoltMxRequest.getRequestParam(). Certain Volt MX Foundry parameters are also passed, for example the current service and app.

Header parameters are also available via VoltMxRequest.getHeaderParam().

The following code can be used to validate a username parameter in a VoltScript preprocessor and throw an error if blank.

Dim username as String
username = VoltMxRequest.getInputParam("username")
If (username = "") Then
    Call VoltMxResult.setErrorMessage("Username is required")
    Return False
End If

Note

getInputParam() returns an empty string if no parameter with the corresponding name can be found.

Note

For a VoltScript integration service or postprocessor, change line 5 from Return False to Return.
