Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static ValidatorService	getInstance() This will retrieve the singleton instance of this class, allowing it to be used across applications.
ValidatorResult	validateObject(java.lang.Object validateIn) Take an validatable object and check if its fields are in a valid state or not.
ValidatorResult	validateObject(java.lang.Object validateIn, Validator validatorIn) Take an validatable object and check if its fields are in a valid state or not If in the future we want to remove the dependancy on Struts we need to write a class that duplicates ValidatorError.
ValidatorResult	validateObject(java.lang.Object validateIn, Validator validatorIn, java.util.List constraintNames) Take an validatable object and check if its fields are in a valid state or not If in the future we want to remove the dependancy on Struts we need to write a class that duplicates ValidatorError.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static ValidatorService getInstance()

This will retrieve the singleton instance of this class, allowing it to be used across applications.

Returns:

ValidatorService - the singleton instance to use.

validateObject

public ValidatorResult validateObject(java.lang.Object validateIn,
                                      Validator validatorIn)

Take an validatable object and check if its fields are in a valid state or not If in the future we want to remove the dependancy on Struts we need to write a class that duplicates ValidatorError. I felt it wasn't worth it at the time to copy the class directly to do exactly what it did.

Parameters:

validateIn - A validatable object to be checked

validatorIn - The Validator instance to use with this object.

Returns:

ValidatorError the error array

validateObject

public ValidatorResult validateObject(java.lang.Object validateIn,
                                      Validator validatorIn,
                                      java.util.List constraintNames)

Take an validatable object and check if its fields are in a valid state or not If in the future we want to remove the dependancy on Struts we need to write a class that duplicates ValidatorError. I felt it wasn't worth it at the time to copy the class directly to do exactly what it did.

Parameters:

validateIn - A validatable object to be checked

validatorIn - The Validator instance to use with this object.

constraintNames - List of constraints to validate

Returns:

ValidatorResult

validateObject

public ValidatorResult validateObject(java.lang.Object validateIn)

Take an validatable object and check if its fields are in a valid state or not. This method expects the XSD associated with the validateable object to be in the same directory as the object itself.

Parameters:

validateIn - A validatable object to be checked

Returns:

ValidatorError the error result.
