Validates Documents, Business Objects, and Attributes against the data dictionary. Including min, max lengths, and validating expressions. This is the default, Kuali delivered implementation.

Validates an object using its class name as the entry name to look up its metadata in the dictionary.

Specified by:
validate in interface DictionaryValidationService
Parameters:
object - - an object to validate
Returns:
the dictionary validation result object associated with this validation
See Also:

Description copied from interface: DictionaryValidationService
Validate an object with the passed in dictionary entryName and the specific attribute to be evaluated

Specified by:

Parameters:
object - - an object to validate
entryName - - the dictionary entry name to look up the metadata associated with this object
attributeName - - the name of the attribute (field) on the object that should be validated

Returns:
the dictionary validation result object associated with this validation

Returns:
the dictionary validation result object associated with this validation

validateReferenceExists

public boolean validateReferenceExists(BusinessObject bo,
                                       ReferenceDefinition reference)
Description copied from interface: DictionaryValidationService
This method examines the populated BusinessObject bo instance passed in for a member named by the referenceName. If this member exists, and if this member is a descendent of BusinessObject, then an existence check proceeds. First the foreign keys for this reference are gathered, and then examined to see if they have values. If they do not have values, the method ends with a true return value. If they all have values, then an object with those primary keys is retrieve from the database. If one is retrieve, then the reference exists, and True is returned. Otherwise, false is returned. This method assumes that you already have the errorPath set exactly as desired, and adds new errors to the errorMap with no prefix, other than what has already been pushed onto the errorMap.

Specified by:
validateReferenceExists in interface DictionaryValidationService
Parameters:
bo - - The bo whose reference is being tested.
reference - - The ReferenceDefinition to be existence tested.
Returns:
True if no exceptions occur and the object exists in the db, false otherwise.

This method retrieves the reference from the DB, and then tests whether the object is active. It will return false if there is no activeIndicator field on this object, if the object doesnt exist in the DB, if the field doesnt exist or cannot be cast as a boolean, if the field value is null, or if the field value is false. It will only return true if the reference bo is present, the field is present, it is a boolean and non-null, and the value is true.

Description copied from interface: DictionaryValidationService
This method retrieves the reference from the DB, and then tests whether the object is active. It will return false if there is no activeIndicator field on this object, if the object doesnt exist in the DB, if the field doesnt exist or cannot be cast as a boolean, if the field value is null, or if the field value is false. It will only return true if the reference bo is present, the field is present, it is a boolean and non-null, and the value is true.

                                                  ReferenceDefinition reference)
Description copied from interface: DictionaryValidationService
validateReferenceExistsAndIsActive intelligently tests the designated reference on the bo for both existence and active status, where appropriate

It will not test anything if the foreign-key fields for the given reference aren't filled out with values, and it will not test active status if the reference doesn't exist.

Further, it will only test active status where the correct flag is set.

On failures of either sort, it will put the relevant errors into the GlobalVariables errorMap, and return a false. If there are no failures, or nothing can be tested because the foreign-key fields arent fully filled out, it will return true and add no errors.

This method assumes that you already have the errorPath set exactly as desired, and adds new errors to the errorMap with no prefix, other than what has already been pushed onto the errorMap.

Specified by:
validateReferenceExistsAndIsActive in interface DictionaryValidationService
Parameters:
bo - - the BusinessObject instance to be tested.
reference - - the ReferenceDefinition to control the nature of the testing.
Returns:
true or false as per the criteria above

Description copied from interface: DictionaryValidationService
This method intelligently tests the designated reference on the bo for both existence and active status, where appropriate. It will not test anything if the foreign-key fields for the given reference arent filled out with values, and it will not test active status if the reference doesnt exist. Note that it will not fail or raise any error if all of the foreign-keys are filled with a value. If this needs to be tested (ie, the 'if any field is filled, then all must be filled' rule), you'll have to do that separately. Further, it will only test active status where the correct flag is set. On failures of either sort, it will put the relevant errors into the GlobalVariables errorMap, and return a false. If there are no failures, or nothing can be tested because the foreign-key fields arent fully filled out, it will return true and add no errors. This method assumes that you already have the errorPath set exactly as desired, and adds new errors to the errorMap with no prefix, other than what has already been pushed onto the errorMap.

validateDefaultExistenceChecks

public boolean validateDefaultExistenceChecks(BusinessObject bo)
Description copied from interface: DictionaryValidationService
This method does an existence check against all references of a BusinessObject as defined in the MaintenanceDocument.xml file for that business object. Appropriate errors will also be placed in the GlobalVariables.ErrorMap. This method assumes that you already have the errorPath set exactly as desired, and adds new errors to the errorMap with no prefix, other than what has already been pushed onto the errorMap.

Specified by:
validateDefaultExistenceChecks in interface DictionaryValidationService
Parameters:
bo - - BusinessObject instance that should be tested
Returns:
true if all passed existence tests, false if any failed

Parameters:
valueReader - - an object to validate
doOptionalProcessing - true if the validation should do optional validation (e.g. to check if empty values are required or not), false otherwise
