Class ValidationObject

java.lang.Object

java.util.EventObject

com.jidesoft.validation.ValidationObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

TableValidationObject

public class ValidationObject
extends java.util.EventObject

ValidationObject is an object containing the information that needed by Validator. The base class has three things - source, new value and old value.

The source is the object who has the Validator. In the case of cell editor, cell editor will be the source. In the case of table, source will be the table.

Normally ValidationObject are accompanied by the old and new value. If the new value is a primitive type (such as int or boolean) it must be wrapped as the corresponding java.lang.* Object type (such as Integer or Boolean).

Null values may be provided for the old and the new values if their true values are not known.

Users can extend this class to create their own ValidationObject to provide additional information that needed by Validator. For example, TableValidationObject extends ValidationObject to add row and column information.
