  oracle.jbo.rules.AbstractValidator
      oracle.jbo.rules.JboPrecisionScaleValidator

All Implemented Interfaces:

JboValidatorInterface

public class JboPrecisionScaleValidator

extends AbstractValidator

implements JboValidatorInterface

Implements precision and scale validation for numeric attributes and length validation for string and character attributes. The framework applies this validator to Entity Object attributes whose definitions inlcude XML metadata precision or scale values.

This validator is invoked by an Entity Objects's validate() method when an attribute with defined precision or scale is modified.

public JboPrecisionScaleValidator()

Creates a default validator.

Use setPrecision and setScale to configure the validatior.

Method Detail

getSingleton

public static JboPrecisionScaleValidator getSingleton()

validate

public void validate(JboValidatorContext evObj)

Validates an Entity Object by invoking validateValue().

Specified by:

validate in interface JboValidatorInterface

Parameters:

evObj - an event object indicating the Entity Object to be validated.

Returns:

true if the value is valid.

Throws:

AttrSetValException - if validation fails.

validateValue

public static boolean validateValue(java.lang.Object value,
                                    int prec,
                                    int scale)

Tests the Entity Object against this validator's precision and scale values.

The precision value is the maximum allowed number of digits in a number, or the number of characters in a string. The scale value, when less than zero, is the minimum number of digits following the decimal point, and when greater than zero, is the minimum number of digits preceeding the decimal point.

Parameters:

value - the Entity Object to be tested.

Returns:

true if value is valid.

getPrecision

public int getPrecision()

Gets the precision value. For strings, "precision" refers to length.

Returns:

the precision value.

getScale

public int getScale()

Gets the scale value. If scale validation is not to be performed this value is -127.

setPrecision

public void setPrecision(int prec)

Sets the precision value. For strings, "precision" refers to length.

Parameters:

prec - the new precision value.

setScale

public void setScale(int scale)

Sets the scale value. If scale validation is not to be performed this value should be -127.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Gets the description of this validator.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface JboValidatorInterface

Overrides:

getDescription in class AbstractValidator

Returns:

a documentation string.

setDescription

public void setDescription(java.lang.String description)

Sets the description of this validator.

Specified by:

setDescription in interface JboValidatorInterface

Overrides:

setDescription in class AbstractValidator

Parameters:

description - a documentation string.
