Method Detail

isValid

boolean isValid()

Checks status of validation context valid or not, it is a global status of same command, any validator of this validation phase call setInvalid() will set this false.

Returns:

true of result is valid, false if any Validator called setInvalid(). Note, default is true.

isLocalValid

boolean isLocalValid()

Checks status of local validation context valid or not, it only relates to one validator.

Returns:

true of result is valid, false if this Validator called setInvalid(), default is true.

Since:

6.5.3

setInvalid

void setInvalid()

set invalid

getCommand

java.lang.String getCommand()

get the command that trigger the validation

Returns:

the command, null if a prompt-save-binding

getProperties

java.util.Map<java.lang.String,Property[]> getProperties()

get dependent properties that need to be validated. you usually use this method to get value of other properties to do complex validation or a form validation

Returns:

the properties map.

getProperties

Property[] getProperties(java.lang.String name)

get dependent properties by the property name. you usually use this method to get a value of other properties to do complex validation or a form validation

Parameters:

name - the property name

Returns:

the properties array

getProperties

java.util.Map<java.lang.String,Property> getProperties(java.lang.Object base)

get dependent properties by a base object. this method returns a Map (key is the property name) of properties that have same base object. It is useful in the form validation case to get all dependent property that related to a form. For example in a validator of a form,

 Map beanProps = ctx.getProperties(ctx.getProperty().getBase());
 Map formProps = ctx.getProperties(ctx.getProperty().getValue());
 

Parameters:

base - the base object of properties

Returns:

a Map of properties that has same base object.

Since:

6.0.1

getValidatorArg

java.lang.Object getValidatorArg(java.lang.String key)

Returns validator arg value of the given key This is a shortcut of getBindContext().getValidatorArg()

Parameters:

key - the key to the value.

Returns:

value of validator arg of the given key

Since:

6.0.1

getProperty

Property getProperty()

get the main property that need to be validated.

Returns:

the main property.

getBindContext

BindContext getBindContext()

Returns:

current bind context
