All Implemented Interfaces:

public class StringValidator
extends AbstractRangeValidator<java.lang.Integer,java.lang.String>

Validator for checking if length of a string falls within [min,max] range. If either min or max are null they are not checked.

If the component is attached to an input tag, a maxlen attribute will be added if the maximum is set. *

Resource keys:

• StringValidator.exact if min==max (exactLength(int))
• StringValidator.range if both min and max are not null
• StringValidator.minimum if max is null (minimumLength(int))
• StringValidator.maximum if min is null (maximumLength(int))

Error Message Variables:

• name: the id of Component that failed
• label: the label of the Component (either comes from FormComponent.labelModel or resource key <form-id>.<form-component-id>
• input: the input value
• length: the length of the entered
• minimum: the minimum allowed length
• maximum: the maximum allowed length

Constructor Detail

StringValidator

public StringValidator(java.lang.Integer minimum,
                       java.lang.Integer maximum)

Constructor that sets the minimum and maximum length values.

Parameters:

minimum - the minimum length

maximum - the maximum length

StringValidator

protected StringValidator()

Constructor used for subclasses who want to set the range using AbstractRangeValidator.setRange(Comparable, Comparable)

Method Detail

getValue

protected java.lang.Integer getValue(IValidatable<java.lang.String> validatable)

Description copied from class: AbstractRangeValidator

Gets the value that should be validated against the range

Specified by:

getValue in class AbstractRangeValidator<java.lang.Integer,java.lang.String>

Returns:

value to validate

decorate

protected IValidationError decorate(IValidationError error,
                                    IValidatable<java.lang.String> validatable)

Description copied from class: AbstractRangeValidator

Allows subclasses to decorate reported errors

Overrides:

decorate in class AbstractRangeValidator<java.lang.Integer,java.lang.String>

Returns:

decorated error

onComponentTag

public void onComponentTag(Component component,
                           ComponentTag tag)

Description copied from class: Behavior

Called any time a component that has this behavior registered is rendering the component tag.

Overrides:

onComponentTag in class Behavior

Parameters:

component - the component that renders this tag currently

tag - the tag that is rendered

hasLengthAttribute

protected boolean hasLengthAttribute(java.lang.String tagName)

exactLength

public static StringValidator exactLength(int length)

Parameters:

length -

Returns:

a StringValidator that generates an error if a string is not of an exact length

maximumLength

Parameters:

length -

Returns:

a StringValidator that generates an error if a string exceeds a maximum length

minimumLength

public static StringValidator minimumLength(int length)

Parameters:

length -

Returns:

a StringValidator that generates an error if a string is not of a minimum length

lengthBetween

public static StringValidator lengthBetween(int minimum,
                                            int maximum)

Parameters:

minimum -

maximum -

Returns:

a StringValidator that generates an error if the length of a string is not between (inclusive) minimum and maximum
