Enum Constant Detail

• DISABLED

  public static final ValidationMode DISABLED

  Validation is disabled. No objects are enqueued for validation, even if JObject.revalidate(java.lang.Class<?>...) is invoked.

• MANUAL

  public static final ValidationMode MANUAL

  Objects are enqueued for validation only when JObject.revalidate(java.lang.Class<?>...) is explicitly invoked.

• AUTOMATIC

  public static final ValidationMode AUTOMATIC

  Objects are enqueued for validation automatically (if necessary) when they are modified.

  In this mode, objects are enqueued for validation whenever JObject.revalidate(java.lang.Class<?>...) is invoked; in addition, objects are enqueued for validation automatically as if by JObject.revalidate(java.lang.Class<?>...) when:

  • An instance is created, and the Java model type (or any super-type) has a JSR 303 annotated public method or @OnValidate annoted method
  • An instance is upgraded, and the Java model type (or any super-type) has a JSR 303 annotated public method or @OnValidate annoted method
  • An instance field is modified, and the corresponding Java model `getter' method has any JSR 303 annotations

  Note that the presence of a @OnValidate annotation on a method does not in itself result in automatic validation when any field changes (it merely specifies an action to take when validation occurs). To trigger revalidation after field changes, add @OnChange-annotated method(s) that invoke this.revalidate().

  Note that AUTOMATIC enqueues as if by JObject.revalidate(java.lang.Class<?>...), i.e., the Default validation group applies. Therefore, if a constraint has explicit groups(), and none extend Default, then it will not be applied automatically.

Method Detail

• values

  public static ValidationMode[] values()

  Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

  for (ValidationMode c : ValidationMode.values())
      System.out.println(c);
  

  Returns:

  an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

• valueOf

  public static ValidationMode valueOf(String name)

  Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

  Parameters:

  name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

  Returns:

  the enum constant with the specified name

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

  NullPointerException - if the argument is null
