Method Detail

compareTo

public static final boolean compareTo(java.lang.Object object,
                                      java.lang.Object attribute,
                                      java.lang.String key,
                                      com.webobjects.foundation.NSDictionary params)

Compares the specified attribute to a number provided in the params dictionary.

The required key-value pairs include:
"Operator" = The specified operator string. (i.e. "==", "!=", ">", ">=", "<", or "<=" )
"RightOperand" = The number to compare the attribute to. (i.e. 0, 20, etc.)

Parameters:

object - The object whose attribute is being validated.

attribute - The attribute being validated.

key - The key used to access the attribute.

params - The param dictionary which must contain the above mentioned key-value pairs.

Returns:

true if the comparision succeeds; otherwise, false

isInRange

public static final boolean isInRange(java.lang.Object object,
                                      java.lang.Object attribute,
                                      java.lang.String key,
                                      com.webobjects.foundation.NSDictionary params)

Checks to make sure the attribute falls within the range specified in the params dictionary.
The attribute is allowed to equal the 'Low' or 'High' value.

The required key-value pairs include:
"Low" = The lowest possible value for this attribute.
"High" = The highest possible value for this attribute.

Parameters:

object - The object whose attribute is being validated.

attribute - The attribute being validated.

key - The key used to access the attribute.

params - The param dictionary which must contain the above mentioned key-value pairs.

Returns:

true if the provided number false within the specified range; otherwise, false

isPositiveNumber

public static final boolean isPositiveNumber(java.lang.Object object,
                                             java.lang.Object attribute,
                                             java.lang.String key,
                                             com.webobjects.foundation.NSDictionary params)

Verifies that attribute is a positive number.

Parameters:

object - The object whose attribute is being validated.

attribute - The attribute being validated.

key - The key used to access the attribute.

params - The param dictionary which must contain the above mentioned key-value pairs.

Returns:

true if the provided number is positive value; otherwise, false

isNegativeNumber

public static final boolean isNegativeNumber(java.lang.Object object,
                                             java.lang.Object attribute,
                                             java.lang.String key,
                                             com.webobjects.foundation.NSDictionary params)

Verifies that attribute is a negative number.

Parameters:

object - The object whose attribute is being validated.

attribute - The attribute being validated.

key - The key used to access the attribute.

params - The param dictionary which must contain the above mentioned key-value pairs.

Returns:
