sdb Determining if a field is in error using reflection on an sObject
I've seen in the doc that it is possible to add an error to a specific sObject field using dot notation. Ie
Account myAccount = [select an account];
myAccount.phone.addError("Invalid phone number");
It also appears to be possible to get a field's value by passing the field name as a string.
In both cases you need to know the specific sObject and field name ahead of time. What I would like to do is write a generic method that iterates over the list of fields associated with any sObject, checking to see if a field is in error.
In pseudo code this would look something like this:
public Boolean recordHasFieldsInError(sObject s) {
Boolean inError = false;
List<Field> fields = sObject.getFields();
for(Field f: fields) {
if(f.hasError()) {
inError = true;
break;
}
}
return inError;
}
Is there a way to do this in Apex without knowing the sObject type or the names of the fields ahead of time?
