             Summary: Improve error message when flow file expiration number 
value has too many periods
                 Key: NIFI-15601
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-15601
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Daniel Stieglitz
            Assignee: Daniel Stieglitz


While working NIFI-15596, I noticed if a number with more than one period is 
entered for the flow file expiration on a connection (e.g. 1.1.1), the UI 
returns an error with the text
{code:java}
multiple points{code}
while when a number is not entered but rather characters the error message is
{code:java}
Flow file expiration is not a valid time duration (ie 30 sec, 5 min){code}
As a user, I would rather consistently see the latter message as there is an 
example of how the format should look as opposed to the multiple points message 
which is not as clear.

Also as a developer that message is no where in the code base so it is hard to 
know the source of the error.

The objective of this ticket is to always have the the latter error message no 
matter the incorrect text entered for the flow file expiration.
