Method Detail

validateContent

public static ValidatorResult validateContent(java.lang.String content,
                                              java.lang.String macroStart,
                                              java.lang.String macroEnd)

Validate incoming content. This attempts to do macro-substitution and complains bitterly if it runs into problems:

• Can't find a function-name between the delimiters
• Don't like the function-name between the delimiters
• Don't like the arguments passed to the function-name between the delimiters

Returns an error list. An element is a Map with keys "key", "arg0", "arg1", "arg2". The map values are used to I18N the resulting error message.

Parameters:

content - content of a TEXT config-file

macroStart - start macro

macroEnd - end macro

Returns:

ValidatorResult. These will be reasons why this content didn't pass. if result.isEmpty() - everything is OK

validatePath

public static ValidatorResult validatePath(java.lang.String path)

Validate config-file pathname. The rules are pretty basic:

• MUST start with '/'
• CANNOT end with a '/'
• CANNOT be relative - no '..' anywhere

That's it.

Parameters:

path - pathname to be validated

Returns:

a Validator Result.

validateUGID

public static boolean validateUGID(java.lang.String in)

Validate a user- or group-ID. Tests that it's a valid Linux u/gid (positive int)

Parameters:

in - string to be tested

Returns:

true if valid, false otherwise

validateUserOrGroup

public static boolean validateUserOrGroup(java.lang.String in)

Validate a user- or group-NAME. Tests that it's a valid Linux name (starts w/alpha, followed by alphanumeric_-)

Parameters:

in - string to be tested

Returns:

true if valid, false otherwise
