public class JboCompareValidator
extends JboAbstractValidator

A validator that tests literal values by comparing them to a pre-defined value, using a pre-defined relation.

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

Since:

Jdeveloper 3.0

Constructor Detail

JboCompareValidator

public JboCompareValidator()

Creates an uninitialized compare validator.

The methods setType() and setRhsValue() must be invoked before validation can be performed.

JboCompareValidator

protected JboCompareValidator(boolean inverse,
                              int operType)

Creates an partially-initialized compare validator.

The method setRhsValue() must be invoked before validation can be performed.

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.

JboCompareValidator

public JboCompareValidator(boolean inverse,
                           int operType,
                           java.lang.Object rValue)

Creates an initialized compare 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.

rValue - this validator's right-hand operand, a reference object containing a literal value.

Method Detail

getValidatorSubType

public java.lang.String getValidatorSubType()

Overrides:

getValidatorSubType in class AbstractValidator

initialize

protected void initialize(JboValidatorContext evObj)

Overrides:

initialize in class JboAbstractValidator

setNewValue

protected void setNewValue(java.lang.Object newValue)
                    throws java.lang.Exception

after setting the new value, prepare the comparator to be of same type if it is not already so.

Overrides:

setNewValue in class JboAbstractValidator

Parameters:

newValue - either the attribute's value or a value to use to compare in the validator.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

validateValueWithContext

public boolean validateValueWithContext(JboValidatorContext evObj,
                                        java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from class: JboAbstractValidator

Called internally by the framework with validation OnCondition is true or there is no validation OnCondition. This method should not be directly invoked in applications.

Overrides:

validateValueWithContext in class JboAbstractValidator

validateValue

public boolean validateValue(java.lang.Object value)

Validate an object by comparing it with a pre-defined value, using a pre-defined relation.

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

This method is called by AbstractValidator#vetoableChange().

Specified by:

validateValue in class JboAbstractValidator

Parameters:

value - the object 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.

validateValue

public boolean validateValue(java.lang.Object value,
                             java.lang.Object rValue)

setType

public void setType(int type)

Sets this validator's comparison operator.

Parameters:

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

getType

public int getType()

Gets this validator's comparison operator.

setRhsValue

public void setRhsValue(java.lang.Object rhsValue)

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

Parameters:

rhsValue - a reference object containing a literal value.

getRhsValue

public java.lang.Object getRhsValue(java.lang.Object src)

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

getRhsValue

public java.lang.Object getRhsValue()

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

Internal: For debugging purposes only.

Overrides:

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

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

Parameters:

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

Returns:

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

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.
