Class LongRangeValidator

java.lang.Object
javax.faces.validator.LongRangeValidator
All Implemented Interfaces:
EventListener, PartialStateHolder, StateHolder, Validator
public class LongRangeValidator extends Object implements Validator, PartialStateHolder

LongRangeValidator is a Validator that checks the value of the corresponding component against specified minimum and maximum values. The following algorithm is implemented:

  • If the passed value is null, exit immediately.
  • If the current component value is not a floating point type, or a String that is convertible to long, throw a ValidatorException containing a TYPE_MESSAGE_ID message.
  • If both a maximum and minimum property has been configured on this Validator, check the component value against both limits. If the component value is not within this specified range, throw a ValidatorException containing a NOT_IN_RANGE_MESSAGE_ID message.
  • If a maximum property has been configured on this Validator, check the component value against this limit. If the component value is greater than the specified maximum, throw a ValidatorException containing a MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_ID message.
  • If a minimum property has been configured on this Validator, check the component value against this limit. If the component value is less than the specified minimum, throw a ValidatorException containing a MINIMUM_MESSAGE_ID message.

For all of the above cases that cause a ValidatorException to be thrown, if there are parameters to the message that match up with validator parameters, the values of these parameters must be converted using the Converter registered in the application under the converter id javax.faces.Number. This allows the values to be localized according to the current Locale.

    • VALIDATOR_ID

      public static final String VALIDATOR_ID

      The standard converter id for this converter.

      See Also:

    • MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_ID

      public static final String MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_ID

      The message identifier of the FacesMessage to be created if the maximum value check fails. The message format string for this message may optionally include the following placeholders:

      • {0} replaced by the configured maximum value.
      • {1} replaced by a String whose value is the label of the input component that produced this message.
      See Also:

    • MINIMUM_MESSAGE_ID

      public static final String MINIMUM_MESSAGE_ID

      The message identifier of the FacesMessage to be created if the minimum value check fails. The message format string for this message may optionally include the following placeholders:

      • {0} replaced by the configured minimum value.
      • {1} replaced by a String whose value is the label of the input component that produced this message.

      public static final String NOT_IN_RANGE_MESSAGE_ID

      The message identifier of the FacesMessage to be created if the maximum or minimum value check fails, and both the maximum and minimum values for this validator have been set. The message format string for this message may optionally include the following placeholders:

      • {0} replaced by the configured minimum value.
      • {1} replaced by the configured maximum value.
      • {2} replaced by a String whose value is the label of the input component that produced this message.

    • validate

      public void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ValidatorException
      Description copied from interface: Validator

      Perform the correctness checks implemented by this Validator against the specified UIComponent. If any violations are found, a ValidatorException will be thrown containing the FacesMessage describing the failure.

      For a validator to be fully compliant with Version 2 and later of the specification, it must not fail validation on null or empty values unless it is specifically intended to address null or empty values. An application-wide <context-param> is provided to allow validators designed for JSF 1.2 to work with JSF 2 and later. The javax.faces.VALIDATE_EMPTY_FIELDS <context-param> must be set to false to enable this backwards compatibility behavior.

      Specified by:
      validate in interface Validator
      Parameters:
      context - FacesContext for the request we are processing
      component - UIComponent we are checking for correctness
      value - the value to validate
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if context or component is null
      ValidatorException - if validation fails

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object otherObj)
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object

    • saveState

      public Object saveState(FacesContext context)
      Description copied from interface: StateHolder

      Gets the state of the instance as a Serializable Object.

      If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.saveState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext) method on all those instances as well. This method must not save the state of children and facets. That is done via the StateManager

      This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code:

      
 Object state = component.saveState(facesContext);

      component should be the same as before executing it.

      The return from this method must be Serializable

      Specified by:
      saveState in interface StateHolder
      Parameters:
      context - the Faces context.
      Returns:
      the saved state.

    • restoreState

      public void restoreState(FacesContext context, Object state)
      Description copied from interface: StateHolder

      Perform any processing required to restore the state from the entries in the state Object.

      If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that also implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.restoreState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object) method on all those instances as well.

      If the state argument is null, take no action and return.

      Specified by:
      restoreState in interface StateHolder
      Parameters:
      context - the Faces context.
      state - the state.

    • isTransient

      public boolean isTransient()
      Description copied from interface: StateHolder

      If true, the Object implementing this interface must not participate in state saving or restoring.

      Specified by:
      isTransient in interface StateHolder
      Returns:
      true if transient, false otherwise.

    • setTransient

      public void setTransient(boolean transientValue)
      Description copied from interface: StateHolder

      Denotes whether or not the Object implementing this interface must or must not participate in state saving or restoring.

      Specified by:
      setTransient in interface StateHolder
      Parameters:
      transientValue - boolean pass true if this Object will not participate in state saving or restoring, otherwise pass false.

    • markInitialState

      public void markInitialState()
      Description copied from interface: PartialStateHolder

      The runtime must ensure that the PartialStateHolder.markInitialState() method is called on each instance of this interface in the view at the appropriate time to indicate the component is in its initial state. The implementor of the interface must ensure that PartialStateHolder.initialStateMarked() returns true from the time markInitialState() is called until PartialStateHolder.clearInitialState() is called, after which time initialStateMarked() must return false. Also, during the time that the instance returns true from initialStateMarked(), the implementation must return only the state that has changed in its implementation of StateHolder.saveState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext).

      Specified by:
      markInitialState in interface PartialStateHolder

    • initialStateMarked

      public boolean initialStateMarked()
      Description copied from interface: PartialStateHolder

      Return true if delta state changes are being tracked, otherwise false

      Specified by:
      initialStateMarked in interface PartialStateHolder
      Returns:
      true if the initial state is marked, false otherwise.

    • clearInitialState

      public void clearInitialState()
      Description copied from interface: PartialStateHolder

      Reset the PartialStateHolder to a non-delta tracking state.

      Specified by:
      clearInitialState in interface PartialStateHolder
