Method Detail

setMessageSource

public void setMessageSource(org.springframework.context.MessageSource source)

Description copied from interface: Constraint

The message source to evaluate the default messages from

Specified by:

setMessageSource in interface Constraint

getPropertyName

public java.lang.String getPropertyName()

Specified by:

getPropertyName in interface Constraint

Returns:

The property name of the constraint

setOwningClass

public void setOwningClass(java.lang.Class constraintOwningClass)

Description copied from interface: Constraint

The class the constraint applies to

Specified by:

setOwningClass in interface Constraint

Parameters:

constraintOwningClass - The constraintOwningClass to set.

setPropertyName

public void setPropertyName(java.lang.String constraintPropertyName)

Description copied from interface: Constraint

The name of the property the constraint applies to

Specified by:

setPropertyName in interface Constraint

Parameters:

constraintPropertyName - The constraintPropertyName to set.

setParameter

public void setParameter(java.lang.Object constraintParameter)

Description copied from interface: Constraint

The parameter which the constraint is validated against

Specified by:

setParameter in interface Constraint

Parameters:

constraintParameter - The constraintParameter to set.

checkState

protected void checkState()

validate

public void validate(java.lang.Object target,
                     java.lang.Object propertyValue,

Description copied from interface: Constraint

Validate this constraint against a property value. If implementation is vetoing (isVetoing() method returns true), then it could return 'true' to stop further validation.

Specified by:

validate in interface Constraint

propertyValue - The property value to validate

errors - The errors instance to record errors against

skipNullValues

skipBlankValues

protected boolean skipBlankValues()
