Developing Customer Adapters

The ResourceAttribute element may contain a ValidationPolicy element. A validation policy ensures the value a user specifies on the Resource Parameters page meets the requirements defined in a separate policy object.

The following sample causes the adapter to use the Port Policy to ensure the specified value is valid. The default Port Policy checks the value is an integer between 1 and 65536.

<ResourceAttribute name=.Port. value=.123.>
   <ValidationPolicy>
      <ObjectRef type=.Policy. id=.#ID#PortPolicy. name=.Port Policy./>
   </ValidationPolicy>
</ResourceAttribute>
