Class JboLengthValidator

java.lang.Object
  oracle.jbo.rules.AbstractValidator
      oracle.jbo.rules.JboAbstractValidator
          oracle.jbo.rules.JboLengthValidator

All Implemented Interfaces:

JboValidatorHints, JboValidatorInterface, ValidatorConstants, VariableManagerOwner, VariableManagerOwnerBase

public class JboLengthValidator
extends JboAbstractValidator

A validator that tests the length of the attribute values by comparing them with a pre-defined length value.

The length to be validated is designated as the left-hand operand of a relation operation. The validator provides the right-hand operand, the comparison datatype and the relation operator.

Since:

Jdeveloper 3.0

Constructor Detail

JboLengthValidator

public JboLengthValidator()

Creates an uninitialized length validator.

The methods setOperType() ,setDataType() and setRhsValue() must be invoked before validation can be performed.

JboLengthValidator

public JboLengthValidator(boolean inverse,
                          int operType,
                          int dataType,
                          java.lang.Object rhsValue)

Creates an initialized length validator.

Parameters:

inverse - if true the logic of this validator's comparison relation is inverted.

operType - this validator's comparison operator; one of the comparison operator constants defined in this class.

dataType - this validator's comparison datatype; one of the datatype constants defined in this class.

rhsValue - this validator's right-hand operand, a reference object containing a numeric value.

Method Detail

initialize

protected void initialize(JboValidatorContext evObj)

Overrides:

initialize in class JboAbstractValidator

endInit

public void endInit()

Overrides:

endInit in class JboAbstractValidator

validateValue

public boolean validateValue(java.lang.Object value)

Validate an object by comparing its length with a pre-defined length value.

The length of the value parameter is the left-hand operand of this validator's comparison relation. The operator is set by setOperType() and the right-hand operand is the value set by setRhsValue().

This method is called by AbstractValidator#vetoableChange().

Specified by:

validateValue in class JboAbstractValidator

Parameters:

value - the object whose length is to be validated.

Returns:

true if the relation holds, or false if the relation does not hold or if the operator or an operand is invalid or uninitialized.

setOperType

public void setOperType(int typeArg)

Sets this validator's comparison operator.

Parameters:

typeArg - one of the comparison operator constants defined in this class.

getOperType

public int getOperType()

Gets this validator's comparison operator.

setDataType

public void setDataType(int typeArg)

Sets this validator's comparison datatype.

Parameters:

typeArg - one of the datatype constants defined in this class.

getDataType

public int getDataType()

Gets this validator's comparison datatype.

setRhsValue

public void setRhsValue(java.lang.Object rhsValueArg)

Sets the right-side operand of this validator's expression.

Parameters:

rhsValueArg - a reference object containing a numeric value.

getRhsValue

public java.lang.Object getRhsValue()

Gets the right-side operand of this validator's expression.

getMinLength

public int getMinLength()

setMinLength

public void setMinLength(int minLength)

getMaxLength

public int getMaxLength()

setMaxLength

public void setMaxLength(int maxLength)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Internal: For debugging purposes only.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

convertOperType

public static int convertOperType(java.lang.String typeArg)

Interprets a string as one of the comparison operator constants defined in this class.

Parameters:

typeArg - a string, the textual name of a comparison operator.

Returns:

a comparison operator constant. An unrecognizable string defaults to EQUALTO.

convertDataType

public static int convertDataType(java.lang.String typeArg)

Interprets a string as one of the comparison datatype constants defined in this class.

Parameters:

typeArg - a string, the textual name of a comparison datatype.

Returns:

parseOperatorTypeStr

public static int parseOperatorTypeStr(java.lang.String str)

getOperatorTypeString

public java.lang.String getOperatorTypeString()

Converts this validator's comparison operator to its symbolic form.

Returns:

a comparison symbol. If the comparison operator is uninitialized or invalid the null string is returned.

initValidatorProperties

public void initValidatorProperties(Map props)

Specified by:

initValidatorProperties in interface JboValidatorHints

Overrides:

initValidatorProperties in class AbstractValidator

getDefXMLElementTag
