Method Detail

addValidator

void addValidator(Validator validator)

Deprecated.

Adds a new validator for this object. The validator's Validator.validate(Object) method is activated every time the object's value needs to be verified, that is, when the isValid() method is called. This usually happens when the object's value changes.

Parameters:

validator - the new validator

removeValidator

void removeValidator(Validator validator)

Deprecated.

Removes a previously registered validator from the object. The specified validator is removed from the object and its validate method is no longer called in isValid().

Parameters:

validator - the validator to remove

removeAllValidators

void removeAllValidators()

Deprecated.

Removes all validators from this object, as if removeValidator was called for each registered validator.

getValidators

Collection<Validator> getValidators()

Deprecated.

Returns a collection of all validators currently registered for the object. The collection may be immutable. Calling removeValidator for this Validatable while iterating over the collection may be unsafe (e.g. may throw ConcurrentModificationException.)

Returns:

A collection of validators

isValid

boolean isValid()

Deprecated.

Tests the current value of the object against all registered validators. The registered validators are iterated and for each the Validator.validate(Object) method is called. If any validator throws the Validator.InvalidValueException this method returns false.

Returns:

true if the registered validators concur that the value is valid, false otherwise

validate

void validate()
       throws Validator.InvalidValueException

Deprecated.

Checks the validity of the validatable. If the validatable is valid this method should do nothing, and if it's not valid, it should throw Validator.InvalidValueException

Throws:

Validator.InvalidValueException - if the value is not valid

isInvalidAllowed

boolean isInvalidAllowed()

Deprecated.

Checks the validabtable object accept invalid values.The default value is true.

setInvalidAllowed

void setInvalidAllowed(boolean invalidValueAllowed)
                throws UnsupportedOperationException

Deprecated.

Should the validabtable object accept invalid values. Supporting this configuration possibility is optional. By default invalid values are allowed.

Parameters:

invalidValueAllowed -

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the setInvalidAllowed is not supported.
