      • 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.

      • 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 Notice that if the property is under a collection, you would see "$each", which represents "each"
        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 Notice that if the property is under a collection, you would see "$each", which represents "each"
        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<String,Property> beanProps = ctx.getProperties(ctx.getProperty().getBase());
         Map<String,Property> formProps = ctx.getProperties(ctx.getProperty().getValue());
         
        Notice that if the property is under a collection, you would see "$each", which represents "each"
        Parameters:
        base - the base object of properties
        Returns:
        a Map of properties that has same base object.

      • 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. Notice that if the property is under a collection, you would see "$each", which represents "each"
        Returns:
        the main property.
      • getBindContext

        BindContext getBindContext()
        Returns:
        current bind context
