FieldValidationMessages, GroupValidationMessages

public class ValidationMessages
extends UifDictionaryBeanBase

Field that displays error, warning, and info messages for the keys that are matched. By default, an ValidationMessages will match on id and bindingPath (if this ValidationMessages is for an InputField), but can be set to match on additionalKeys and nested components keys (of the its parentComponent). In addition, there are a variety of options which can be toggled to effect the display of these messages during both client and server side validation display. See documentation on each get method for more details on the effect of each option.

Method Summary

protected void	addNestedGroupKeys(Collection<String> keyList, Component component) Adds all group keys of this component (starting from this component itself) by calling getKeys on each of its nested group's ValidationMessages and adding them to the list.
protected void	addValidationDataSettingsValue(Map<String,Object> valueMap, Map<String,String> defaults, String key, Object value) Adds the value passed to the valueMap with the key specified, if the value does not match the value which already exists in defaults (to avoid having to write out extra data that can later be derived from the defaults in the js)
void	generateMessages(View view, Object model, Component parent) Generates the messages based on the content in the messageMap
List<String>	getAdditionalKeysToMatch() AdditionalKeysToMatch is an additional list of keys outside of the default keys that will be matched when messages are returned after a form is submitted.
List<String>	getErrors() The list of error messages found for the keys that were matched on this ValidationMessages This is generated and cannot be set
List<String>	getInfos() The list of info messages found for the keys that were matched on this ValidationMessages This is generated and cannot be set
protected List<String>	getKeys(Component parent) Gets all the keys associated to this ValidationMessages.
protected List<String>	getMessages(View view, String key, List<List<ErrorMessage>> lists) Gets all the messages from the list of lists passed in (which are lists of ErrorMessages associated to the key) and uses the configuration service to get the message String associated.
List<String>	getWarnings() The list of warning messages found for the keys that were matched on this ValidationMessages This is generated and cannot be set
boolean	isDisplayMessages() If true, error, warning, and info messages will be displayed (provided they are also set to display).
void	setAdditionalKeysToMatch(List<String> additionalKeysToMatch)
void	setAdditionalKeysToMatch(String additionalKeysToMatch) Convenience setter for additional keys to match that takes a string argument and splits on comma to build the list
void	setDisplayMessages(boolean displayMessages)
protected void	setErrors(List<String> errors) Sets errors
protected void	setInfos(List<String> infos) Sets infos
protected void	setWarnings(List<String> warnings) Sets warnings

Method Detail

generateMessages

public void generateMessages(View view,
                             Object model,
                             Component parent)

Generates the messages based on the content in the messageMap

Parameters:

view - the current View

model - the current model

parent - the parent of this ValidationMessages

getMessages

protected List<String> getMessages(View view,
                                   String key,
                                   List<List<ErrorMessage>> lists)

Gets all the messages from the list of lists passed in (which are lists of ErrorMessages associated to the key) and uses the configuration service to get the message String associated. This will also combine error messages per a field if that option is turned on. If displayFieldLabelWithMessages is turned on, it will also find the label by key passed in.

Parameters:

view -

key -

lists -

Returns:

list of messages

getKeys

protected List<String> getKeys(Component parent)

Gets all the keys associated to this ValidationMessages. This includes the id of the parent component, additional keys to match, and the bindingPath if this is an ValidationMessages for an InputField. These are the keys that are used to match errors with their component and display them as part of its ValidationMessages.

Returns:

list of keys

addNestedGroupKeys

protected void addNestedGroupKeys(Collection<String> keyList,
                                  Component component)

Adds all group keys of this component (starting from this component itself) by calling getKeys on each of its nested group's ValidationMessages and adding them to the list.

Parameters:

keyList -

component -

getAdditionalKeysToMatch

public List<String> getAdditionalKeysToMatch()

AdditionalKeysToMatch is an additional list of keys outside of the default keys that will be matched when messages are returned after a form is submitted. These keys are only used for displaying messages generated by the server and have no effect on client side validation error display.

Returns:

the additionalKeysToMatch

setAdditionalKeysToMatch

public void setAdditionalKeysToMatch(String additionalKeysToMatch)

Convenience setter for additional keys to match that takes a string argument and splits on comma to build the list

Parameters:

additionalKeysToMatch - String to parse

setAdditionalKeysToMatch

public void setAdditionalKeysToMatch(List<String> additionalKeysToMatch)

Parameters:

additionalKeysToMatch - the additionalKeysToMatch to set

isDisplayMessages

public boolean isDisplayMessages()

If true, error, warning, and info messages will be displayed (provided they are also set to display). Otherwise, no messages for this ValidationMessages container will be displayed (including ones set to display). This is a global display on/off switch for all messages.

Other areas of the screen react to a display flag being turned off at a certain level, if display is off for a field, the next level up will display that fields full message text, and if display is off at a section the next section up will display those messages nested in a sublist.

Returns:

the displayMessages

setDisplayMessages

public void setDisplayMessages(boolean displayMessages)

Parameters:

displayMessages - the displayMessages to set

getErrors

public List<String> getErrors()

The list of error messages found for the keys that were matched on this ValidationMessages This is generated and cannot be set

Returns:

the errors

getWarnings

public List<String> getWarnings()

The list of warning messages found for the keys that were matched on this ValidationMessages This is generated and cannot be set

Returns:

the warnings

getInfos

public List<String> getInfos()

The list of info messages found for the keys that were matched on this ValidationMessages This is generated and cannot be set

Returns:

the infos

addValidationDataSettingsValue

protected void addValidationDataSettingsValue(Map<String,Object> valueMap,
                                              Map<String,String> defaults,
                                              String key,
                                              Object value)

Adds the value passed to the valueMap with the key specified, if the value does not match the value which already exists in defaults (to avoid having to write out extra data that can later be derived from the defaults in the js)

Parameters:

valueMap - the data map being constructed

defaults - defaults for validation messages

key - the variable name being added

value - the value set on this object

setErrors

protected void setErrors(List<String> errors)

Sets errors

Parameters:

errors -

setWarnings

protected void setWarnings(List<String> warnings)

Sets warnings

Parameters:
