Method Detail

validateNotEmpty

public static ValidationFailure validateNotEmpty(Object bean,
                                                 String attribute,
                                                 Collection<?> value)

Returns a ValidationFailure if a collection attribute of an object is null or empty.

validateMandatory

public static ValidationFailure validateMandatory(Object bean,
                                                  String attribute,
                                                  Object value)

validateMandatory

public static ValidationFailure validateMandatory(Object bean,
                                                  String attribute)

validateNotNull

public static ValidationFailure validateNotNull(Object bean,
                                                String attribute,
                                                Object value)

validateNotEmpty

public static ValidationFailure validateNotEmpty(Object bean,
                                                 String attribute,
                                                 String value)

A utility method that returns a ValidationFailure if a string is either null or has a length of zero; otherwise returns null.

validateJavaClassName

public static ValidationFailure validateJavaClassName(Object bean,
                                                      String attribute,
                                                      String identifier)

A utility method that checks that a given string is a valid Java full class name, returning a non-null ValidationFailure if this is not so. Special case: primitive arrays like byte[] are also handled as a valid java class name.

Since:

1.2
