IBM Worklight - How to customize the connectOnStartup failure dialog

Question

It possible to customize the Error Alert which popups while we set the connectOnStartup=true. I don't want my users to click on "Details" from that alert and view the details of the error message. I want to customize that alert with my custom message and action.

Two options:

1. In addition to using connectOnStartup property in initOptions.js, also use the onConnectionFailure property:

   var wlInitOptions = {
       connectOnStartup : true,
   
       // # The callback function to invoke in case application fails to connect to Worklight Server
       onConnectionFailure: function () { 
           WL.SimpleDialog.show(
               "foo",
               "bar",
               [{text: "button",
                handler : function() {alert("button pressed");}
               }]
            );
           // optionally add more logic here
       },
       ...
       ...
   

2. Do not use the connectOnStartup property. Instead, use WL.Client.connect to connect to the server when appropriate. For example, in wlCommonInit()

   function wlCommonInit() { 
       WL.Client.connect({ onSuccess: success, onFailure: failure});
   }
   
   function success() {
       // ...
   }
   
   function failure() {
       WL.SimpleDialog.show(
           "foo",
           "bar",
           [{text: "button",
             handler : function() {alert("button pressed");}
           }]
      );
       // optionally add more logic here
   }
