Class ValidationResult

java.lang.Object

com.jidesoft.validation.ValidationResult

Direct Known Subclasses:

RowValidationResult

public class ValidationResult
extends java.lang.Object

ValidationResult is the object that returns from the Validator.validating(ValidationObject). There are three things on the result.

• valid: whether the result is valid. It can be true or false.
• id: an int value of the result. It's better to reserve value 0 for valid result. For invalid result, you can use whatever value as long as it's consistent across your application.
• message: a String value of result. You can use this string value to put a message to indicate why the validation failed.

Users can extend this class to create their own ValidationResult to provide additional information that needed to be returned from Validator.

If you used a constructor without failBehavior parameter, the default value for behavior is FAIL_BEHAVIOR_REVERT, which means JideTable will not accept the new input and just revert the value in the cell to the old value and stop cell editing as normal.

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
static int	FAIL_BEHAVIOR_PERSIST When validation fails, do not stop cell editing until user enters a valid value or press ESCAPE to cancel the editing.
static int	FAIL_BEHAVIOR_RESET When validation fails, reset the value to null.
static int	FAIL_BEHAVIOR_REVERT When validation fails, reverts back to the previous valid value and stop cell editting as normal.
static java.lang.Object	NULL_VALUE If you want to change the new value in the validation result to null, please return NULL_VALUE so that JideTable will be able to change it automatically to null after validation.
static ValidationResult	OK The shared ValidationResult when the validation result is valid.

Field Detail

NULL_VALUE

public static final java.lang.Object NULL_VALUE

If you want to change the new value in the validation result to null, please return NULL_VALUE so that JideTable will be able to change it automatically to null after validation.

3.4.3

FAIL_BEHAVIOR_REVERT

public static final int FAIL_BEHAVIOR_REVERT

When validation fails, reverts back to the previous valid value and stop cell editting as normal.

public static final ValidationResult OK

The shared ValidationResult when the validation result is valid. getNewValue() will always return null even if you ever invoked setNewValue(Object) to avoid potential wrong value assignment.

isValid

public boolean isValid()

Checks if the validation state is valid.

Returns:

the validation state. True means valid. Otherwise, false.
