Description

Interface Summary

BinaryConstraint	This interface marks constraint objects that consist of two subconstraints.
Constraint	A Constraint can be used to validate any type of non-primitive Java object.
CustomizedConstraint	A customized constraint allows an user to add its own constraints into the framework easily.
Restrictable	The Restrictable interface defines a standard set of methods for a class that wants to control its principle value by a Constraint.
UnaryConstraint	This interface marks constraint objects that consist of exactly one subconstraint.

Class Summary

AndConstraint	Combines at least two child constraints with a logical AND.
ConstraintParser	Class ConstraintParser can be used to parse strings representing Constraint expressions.
ConstraintPool	All constraints that a ConstraintParser creates are pooled.
CustomConstraintRegistry	This constraint allows to register custom constraints by name.
EnumConstraint	Used to check whether the value that is subject to validation is equal to one of the entries of the list of values on the right-hand-side of the operator.
LikeConstraint	Used to check whether the value matches the given pattern.
MetricExpressionConstraint	The MetricExpressionConstraint class tests a given object to be an instance of a MetricExpression and afterwards against a specified comparison type.
NegateConstraint	This Constraint negates the value returned by the specified child Constraint.
NumberConstraint	This constraint evaluates a given object's value against a specified number and comparison type.
OpenEnumConstraint	* The class OpenEnumConstraint provides the same functionality and comes with the same behaviour as the EnumConstraint class.
OrConstraint	Combines two child constraints with a logical OR.
Scanner	This class provides methods for doing a lexical analysis on a String.
TypeConstraint	This Constraint implementation is used to check whether the value that is subject to validation is of a certain type.

Exception Summary

ConstraintParserException	This exception is thrown whenever an error occurs during constraint parsing.
ConstraintViolationException	This exception is thrown if an Attribute or an AttributeCollection is associated with Constraint which has determined a validation failure.
CustomConstraintException	Thrown when a CustomConstraint cannot be applied or if it is not registered.

Package com.tensegrity.generic.constraint Description

Includes the default constraints, associated exceptions and the constraint parser. Stubs for plugging in user custom constraints. A class for pooling constraints is also included.
