Interface DatatypeValidator

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractDatatypeValidator

public interface DatatypeValidator

DataTypeValidator defines the interface that data type validators must obey. These validators can be supplied by the application writer and may be useful as standalone code as well as plugins to the validator architecture. Note: there is no support for facets in this API, since we are trying to convince W3C to remove facets from the data type spec.

Method Detail

validate

public java.lang.Object validate(java.lang.String content,
                                 java.lang.Object state)
                          throws InvalidDatatypeValueException

Checks that "content" string is valid datatype. If invalid a Datatype validation exception is thrown.

Parameters:

content - A string containing the content to be validated

Throws:

throws - InvalidDatatypeException if the content is invalid according to the rules for the validators

InvalidDatatypeValueException -

getWSFacet

public short getWSFacet()

getBaseValidator

public DatatypeValidator getBaseValidator()

compare

public int compare(java.lang.String value1,
                   java.lang.String value2)

Compares content in the Domain value vs. lexical value. e.g. If type is a float then 1.0 may be equivalent to 1 even tough both are lexically different.

Parameters:

value1 -

valu2 -

Returns:
