Method Detail

isMandatoryConstraint

public boolean isMandatoryConstraint()

Description copied from interface: PropertyConstraint

Determines if the constraint is a check that evaluates if a property is present or not and fails if a value is not present.

Specified by:

isMandatoryConstraint in interface PropertyConstraint<T>

Returns:

true if the constraint is a check for value presence, false if it is any regular constraint.

getDescription

public final String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: PropertyConstraint

Returns a description of the defined constraints.

This is not the validation message that is displayed if the validation fails. This is a description of the constraints on a value that must be met to pass the validation process successfully. The description may be displayed to a user prior to request the input of a value.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface PropertyConstraint<T>

Returns:

a description of the defined constraints.

validate

public final void validate(PropertyDescriptor propertyDescriptor,
                           T value)
                    throws PropertyValidationException

Description copied from interface: PropertyConstraint

Checks if the given value is valid.

Specified by:

validate in interface PropertyConstraint<T>

Parameters:

propertyDescriptor - information about the name of the property to validate.

value - the value to be checked.

Throws:

PropertyValidationException - if the value is not valid.

toString

public String toString()

Returns the string representation of the object.

Overrides:
