Constructor Detail

ValidatorTimeAfter

public ValidatorTimeAfter(AttributeReadValue<V> valueSource)

The constructor.

Parameters:

valueSource - the source of the value to compare to.

ValidatorTimeAfter

public ValidatorTimeAfter(V value)

The constructor.

Parameters:

value - the value to compare to.

Method Detail

isDynamic

public boolean isDynamic()

Description copied from class: AbstractValidator

This method determines if this ValueValidator is dynamic. Here dynamic means that the validation of the same input may not always return the same validation result (e.g. it holds references to instances that have dynamic impact on the validation).

Overrides:

isDynamic in class AbstractValidator<V>

Returns:

true if this ValueValidator is dynamic, false otherwise.

getCode

protected String getCode()

Description copied from class: AbstractValidator

This is the default implementation to retrieve the code of this ValueValidator.
ATTENTION:
This default implementation returns the classname of the actual ValueValidator implementation. This strategy is chosen for simplicity when implementing a new validator. To ensure stable codes override this method and return a string constant. This shall at least be done when the name of the class is changed.

Overrides:

getCode in class AbstractValidator<V>

Returns:

the code.

validateNotNull

protected NlsMessage validateNotNull(V value)

Description copied from class: AbstractValueValidator

This method performs the validation in case value is NOT null. This method contains the actual custom logic for the validation. It is therefore designed in a way that makes it most simple to implement custom validators.
ATTENTION:
For internationalization you should not directly return string literals but use NlsMessage instead.

Specified by:

validateNotNull in class AbstractValueValidator<V>

Parameters:

value - is the value to validate.

Returns:

the failure message or null if the the given value is valid.

isAfter

protected abstract boolean isAfter(V value,
                                   V limit)

Parameters:

value - the date to check.

limit - the upper bound to compare to.

Returns:

true if value is after limit, false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in class AbstractValidator<V>

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Specified by:

equals in class AbstractValidator<V>
