You can use a buit-in support in WebApplication. There are
#error/#error: and #errorReport methods. A simple rule is that if you
set an error with some text, then an errorReport element will return
that text in red.
You can put that errorReport element somewhere on your page (usually
above an entry form) and set error in your action method after
verification of submitted data, then reload that same view. For example:
viewMain
self add: self errorReport
self addInputFieldAspect: #entry of: self observee.
self addButtonText: 'submit'
actionMain
self observee isEntryValid ifFalse:
[self error: 'Entry not valid!'.
self redirectToView: #main].
...
Now always when entry is not valid, an error text in red will be shown
above entry field and user can try again.
