public static void validateAttribute(Attr attr,
                                     String validatorClass,
                                     String rule)
                              throws UMSException,
                                     DataConstraintException

Determines whether a specific attribute is valid. Called by validateAttribute(Attr, Class). This method calls the validation method for this attribute.

Parameters:

attr - attribute to test

validatorClass - the validator class name

rule - optional rule applies to the validator

Throws:

UMSException - failure

DataConstraintException - data validation failure

validateAttribute

public static void validateAttribute(Attr attr,
                                     Class cls,
                                     Guid guid)
                              throws UMSException,
                                     DataConstraintException

Determines whether attribute is valid. Check the attribute if there is a validation method that needs to execute.

Parameters:

attr - attribute to test

cls - Class associatd with this attribute

guid - the guid of the Organization where the config data is stored

Throws:

UMSException - failure

DataConstraintException - data validation failure

validateAttributes

public static void validateAttributes(AttrSet attrSet,
                                      Class cls,
                                      Guid guid)
                               throws UMSException,
                                      DataConstraintException

Determines whether each attribute in the attribute set is valid. Iterates though the set checking each element to see if there is a validation method that needs to execute.

Parameters:

attrSet - attribute set to test

cls - Class associated with these attribute set

guid - the guid of the Organization where the config data is stored

Throws:

UMSException - failure

DataConstraintException - data validation failure

validateAttributes

public static void validateAttributes(ModSet modSet,
                                      Class cls,
                                      Guid guid)
                               throws UMSException,
                                      DataConstraintException

Determines whether each attribute in the ModSet is valid.

Parameters:

modSet - modSet to test

cls - Class associated with these attributes

guid - the guid of the Organization where the config data is stored
