Class Validators

java.lang.Object
  com.scooterframework.common.validation.Validators

Direct Known Subclasses:

ActionValidators, ModelValidators

public abstract class Validators
extends java.lang.Object

Validators contains basic validation methods to validate data.

Validation can be done for inputs to a controller (ActionValidators) or data in a model (ModelValidators).

When a validatesXXX method has no messageKey as input, a default constant will be used as the message key. This default constant is one of the built-in message keys in a message property file. When input parameters of a validatesXXX method contain messageKey, but no associated value of the messageKey is found in any message property files, the messageKey itself is treated as a customized validation message.

Examples:

     public void validatesRecord() {
         //return: message is too short (minimum is 20 characters).
         validators().validatesLengthMinimum("message", 20);
         
         //return: Damn! Your post is too short.
         validators().validatesLengthMinimum("body", 300, "Damn! Your post is too short.");
     }
