Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Double	getValid(String context, String input) Parse the input, throw exceptions if validation fails
Double	sanitize(String context, String input) The method is similar to ValidationRuile.getSafe except that it returns a harmless object that may or may not have any similarity to the original input (in some cases you may not care).

Constructor Detail

NumberValidationRule

public NumberValidationRule(String typeName,
                    Encoder encoder)

NumberValidationRule

public NumberValidationRule(String typeName,
                    Encoder encoder,
                    double minValue,
                    double maxValue)

Method Detail

getValid

public Double getValid(String context,
              String input)
                throws ValidationException

Parse the input, throw exceptions if validation fails

Parameters:

context - for logging

input - the value to be parsed

Returns:

a validated value

Throws:

ValidationException - if any validation rules fail

sanitize

public Double sanitize(String context,
              String input)

The method is similar to ValidationRuile.getSafe except that it returns a harmless object that may or may not have any similarity to the original input (in some cases you may not care). In most cases this should be the same as the getSafe method only instead of throwing an exception, return some default value.

Specified by:

sanitize in class BaseValidationRule

Returns:

a parsed version of the input or a default value.
