          extended byoracle.jbo.rules.JboCompareValidator
All Implemented Interfaces:
JboValidatorInterface

public class JboCompareValidator
extends JboAbstractValidator
implements JboValidatorInterface

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

initialize

protected void initialize()
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

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.

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


toString

public java.lang.String toString()
Internal: For debugging purposes only.


convertOperType

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.
