Class LongRangeValidator

java.lang.Object
  javax.faces.validator.LongRangeValidator

All Implemented Interfaces:

EventListener, StateHolder, Validator

public class LongRangeValidator
extends Object
implements Validator, StateHolder

LongRangeValidator is a Validator that checks the value of the corresponding component against specified minimum and maximum values. The following algorithm is implemented:

• If the passed value is null, exit immediately.
• If the current component value is not a floating point type, or a String that is convertible to long, throw a ValidatorException containing a TYPE_MESSAGE_ID message.
• If both a maximum and minimum property has been configured on this Validator, check the component value against both limits. If the component value is not within this specified range, throw a ValidatorException containing a NOT_IN_RANGE_MESSAGE_ID message.
• If a maximum property has been configured on this Validator, check the component value against this limit. If the component value is greater than the specified maximum, throw a ValidatorException containing a MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_ID message.
• If a minimum property has been configured on this Validator, check the component value against this limit. If the component value is less than the specified minimum, throw a ValidatorException containing a MINIMUM_MESSAGE_ID message.

For all of the above cases that cause a ValidatorException to be thrown, if there are parameters to the message that match up with validator parameters, the values of these parameters must be converted using the Converter registered in the application under the converter id javax.faces.Number. This allows the values to be localized according to the current Locale.

Field Summary

static String	MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_ID The message identifier of the FacesMessage to be created if the maximum value check fails.
static String	MINIMUM_MESSAGE_ID The message identifier of the FacesMessage to be created if the minimum value check fails.
static String	NOT_IN_RANGE_MESSAGE_ID The message identifier of the FacesMessage to be created if the maximum or minimum value check fails, and both the maximum and minimum values for this validator have been set.
static String	TYPE_MESSAGE_ID The message identifier of the FacesMessage to be created if the current value of this component is not of the correct type.
static String	VALIDATOR_ID The standard converter id for this converter.

Field Detail

VALIDATOR_ID

public static final String VALIDATOR_ID

The standard converter id for this converter.

Constant Field Values

MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_ID

public static final String MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_ID

The message identifier of the FacesMessage to be created if the maximum value check fails. The message format string for this message may optionally include the following placeholders:

• {0} replaced by the configured maximum value.
• {1} replaced by a String whose value is the label of the input component that produced this message.

Constant Field Values

MINIMUM_MESSAGE_ID

public static final String MINIMUM_MESSAGE_ID

The message identifier of the FacesMessage to be created if the minimum value check fails. The message format string for this message may optionally include the following placeholders:

• {0} replaced by the configured minimum value.
• {1} replaced by a String whose value is the label of the input component that produced this message.

Constant Field Values

NOT_IN_RANGE_MESSAGE_ID

public static final String NOT_IN_RANGE_MESSAGE_ID

The message identifier of the FacesMessage to be created if the maximum or minimum value check fails, and both the maximum and minimum values for this validator have been set. The message format string for this message may optionally include the following placeholders:

• {0} replaced by the configured minimum value.
• {1} replaced by the configured maximum value.
• {2} replaced by a String whose value is the label of the input component that produced this message.

Constant Field Values

TYPE_MESSAGE_ID

public static final String TYPE_MESSAGE_ID

The message identifier of the FacesMessage to be created if the current value of this component is not of the correct type. The message format string for this message may optionally include a {0} placeholder that will be replaced by a String whose value is the label of the input component that produced this message.

Constructor Detail

LongRangeValidator

public LongRangeValidator()

Construct a Validator with no preconfigured limits.

LongRangeValidator

public LongRangeValidator(long maximum)

Construct a Validator with the specified preconfigured limit.

Parameters:

maximum - Maximum value to allow

LongRangeValidator

public LongRangeValidator(long maximum,
                          long minimum)

Construct a Validator with the specified preconfigured limits.

Parameters:

maximum - Maximum value to allow

minimum - Minimum value to allow

Method Detail

getMaximum

public long getMaximum()

Return the maximum value to be enforced by this Validator.

setMaximum

public void setMaximum(long maximum)

Set the maximum value to be enforced by this Validator.

Parameters:

maximum - The new maximum value

getMinimum

public long getMinimum()

Return the minimum value to be enforced by this Validator.

setMinimum

public void setMinimum(long minimum)

Set the minimum value to be enforced by this Validator.

Parameters:

minimum - The new minimum value

validate

public void validate(FacesContext context,
                     UIComponent component,
                     Object value)
              throws ValidatorException

Description copied from interface: Validator

Perform the correctness checks implemented by this Validator against the specified UIComponent. If any violations are found, a ValidatorException will be thrown containing the FacesMessage describing the failure.

Specified by:

validate in interface Validator

Parameters:

context - FacesContext for the request we are processing

component - UIComponent we are checking for correctness

value - the value to validate

Throws:

NullPointerException - if context or component is null

ValidatorException - if validation fails

equals

public boolean equals(Object otherObj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

saveState

public Object saveState(FacesContext context)

Description copied from interface: StateHolder

Gets the state of the instance as a Serializable Object.

If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.saveState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext) method on all those instances as well. This method must not save the state of children and facets. That is done via the StateManager

This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code:

 Object state = component.saveState(facesContext);
 

component should be the same as before executing it.

The return from this method must be Serializable

Specified by:

saveState in interface StateHolder

restoreState

public void restoreState(FacesContext context,
                         Object state)

Description copied from interface: StateHolder

Perform any processing required to restore the state from the entries in the state Object.

If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that also implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.restoreState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object) method on all those instances as well.

Specified by:

restoreState in interface StateHolder

isTransient

public boolean isTransient()

Description copied from interface: StateHolder

If true, the Object implementing this interface must not participate in state saving or restoring.

Specified by:

isTransient in interface StateHolder

setTransient

public void setTransient(boolean transientValue)

Description copied from interface: StateHolder

Denotes whether or not the Object implementing this interface must or must not participate in state saving or restoring.

Specified by:

setTransient in interface StateHolder

Parameters:

transientValue - boolean pass true if this Object will participate in state saving or restoring, otherwise pass false.
