Class ERXValidation

java.lang.Object
  er.extensions.validation.ERXValidation

public class ERXValidation
extends java.lang.Object

This is more of a legacy object that was used until we had ERXValidationFactory in place. The only place where this is used is when handling ValidationExceptions that have not been converted by the ERXValidationFactory. This class is also used to handle formatter exceptions that are thrown number formatters in WOComponents.

                                                 ERXLocalizer localizer)

Processes a validation exception to make it look better. The resulting exception message is set in the errorMessages dictionary.

Parameters:

e - validation exception.

value - that failed validation.

keyPath - that failed validation.

errorMessages - dictionary to place the formatted message into.

displayPropertyKeyPath - key used in the case of the formatter exception to calculate the pretty display name.

localizer - to use to localize the exception.

validationFailedWithException

public static void validationFailedWithException(java.lang.Throwable e,
                                                 java.lang.Object value,

Parameters:

e - validation exception.

value - that failed validation.

keyPath - that failed validation.

errorMessages - dictionary to place the formatted message into.

displayPropertyKeyPath - key used in the case of the formatter exception to calculate the pretty display name.

localizer - to use to localize the exception.

entity - that the validation exception is happening too.
