validateReferenceExists

public boolean validateReferenceExists(Object dataObject,
                                       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:

dataObject - - the data object 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.

validateReferenceExistsAndIsActive

public boolean validateReferenceExistsAndIsActive(Object dataObject,
                                                  ReferenceDefinition reference)

Description copied from interface: DictionaryValidationService

validateReferenceExistsAndIsActive intelligently tests the designated reference on the data object 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:

dataObject - - the data object instance to be tested.

reference - - the ReferenceDefinition to control the nature of the testing.

Returns:

true or false as per the criteria above

                                                  String displayFieldName)

Description copied from interface: DictionaryValidationService

This method intelligently tests the designated reference on the data object 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.

Specified by:

validateReferenceExistsAndIsActive in interface DictionaryValidationService

Parameters:

dataObject - - the BusinessObject instance to be tested.

referenceName - - the member name on the data object to be tested for existence and active-state

attributeToHighlightOnFail - - the fieldName to highlight with the error message on a failure

displayFieldName - - the human-readable display name of the failed field, to go in the error message

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:

Description copied from interface: DictionaryValidationService

Does an existence check against all references configured as a default existence check in the maintenance document data dictionary file for the given 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:

validateDefaultExistenceChecksForNewCollectionItem in interface DictionaryValidationService

Parameters:

dataObject - parent business object instance to retrieve default checks for

newCollectionItem - new collection line to validate

collectionName - name of the collection in the parent

Returns:

true if all passed existence tests, false if any failed

validate

public DictionaryValidationResult validate(AttributeValueReader valueReader,
                                           boolean doOptionalProcessing,
                                           String validationState,
                                           StateMapping stateMapping)

Validates using the defined AttributeValueReader (which allows access the object being validated) against the validationState and stateMapping (if specified).

If state information is null, validates the constraints as stateless (ie all constraints apply regardless of their states attribute).

Specified by:

validate in interface DictionaryValidationService

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

validationState -

stateMapping -

Returns:
