Interface Errors

BindingResult
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractBindingResult, AbstractPropertyBindingResult, BeanPropertyBindingResult, BindException, DirectFieldBindingResult, EscapedErrors, MapBindingResult

public interface Errors

Stores and exposes information about data-binding and validation errors for a specific object.

Field names can be properties of the target object (e.g. "name" when binding to a customer object), or nested fields in case of subobjects (e.g. "address.street"). Supports subtree navigation via setNestedPath(String): for example, an AddressValidator validates "address", not being aware that this is a subobject of customer.

Note: Errors objects are single-threaded.

Field Detail

NESTED_PATH_SEPARATOR

static final String NESTED_PATH_SEPARATOR
The separator between path elements in a nested path, for example in "customer.name" or "customer.address.street".

"." = same as the nested property separator in the beans package.

See Also:
Constant Field Values
Method Detail

getObjectName

String getObjectName()
Return the name of the bound root object.


setNestedPath

void setNestedPath(String nestedPath)
Allow context to be changed so that standard validators can validate subtrees. Reject calls prepend the given path to the field names.

For example, an address validator could validate the subobject "address" of a customer object.

Parameters:
nestedPath - nested path within this object, e.g. "address" (defaults to "", null is also acceptable). Can end with a dot: both "address" and "address." are valid.

getNestedPath

String getNestedPath()
Return the current nested path of this Errors object.

Returns a nested path with a dot, i.e. "address.", for easy building of concatenated paths. Default is an empty String.


pushNestedPath

void pushNestedPath(String subPath)
Push the given sub path onto the nested path stack.

A popNestedPath() call will reset the original nested path before the corresponding pushNestedPath(String) call.

Using the nested path stack allows to set temporary nested paths for subobjects without having to worry about a temporary path holder.

For example: current path "spouse.", pushNestedPath("child") -> result path "spouse.child."; popNestedPath() -> "spouse." again.

Parameters:
subPath - the sub path to push onto the nested path stack
See Also:
popNestedPath()

popNestedPath

void popNestedPath()
                   throws IllegalStateException
Pop the former nested path from the nested path stack.

Throws:
IllegalStateException - if there is no former nested path on the stack
See Also:
pushNestedPath(java.lang.String)

reject

void reject(String errorCode)
Register a global error for the entire target object, using the given error description.

Parameters:
errorCode - error code, interpretable as a message key

reject

void reject(String errorCode,
            String defaultMessage)
Register a global error for the entire target object, using the given error description.

Parameters:
errorCode - error code, interpretable as a message key
defaultMessage - fallback default message

reject

void reject(String errorCode,
            Object[] errorArgs,
            String defaultMessage)
Register a global error for the entire target object, using the given error description.

Parameters:
errorCode - error code, interpretable as a message key
errorArgs - error arguments, for argument binding via MessageFormat (can be null)
defaultMessage - fallback default message

rejectValue

void rejectValue(String field,
                 String errorCode)
Register a field error for the specified field of the current object (respecting the current nested path, if any), using the given error description.

The field name may be null or empty String to indicate the current object itself rather than a field of it. This may result in a corresponding field error within the nested object graph or a global error if the current object is the top object.

Parameters:
field - the field name (may be null or empty String)
errorCode - error code, interpretable as a message key
See Also:
getNestedPath()

rejectValue

void rejectValue(String field,
                 String errorCode,
                 String defaultMessage)
Register a field error for the specified field of the current object (respecting the current nested path, if any), using the given error description.

The field name may be null or empty String to indicate the current object itself rather than a field of it. This may result in a corresponding field error within the nested object graph or a global error if the current object is the top object.

Parameters:
field - the field name (may be null or empty String)
errorCode - error code, interpretable as a message key
defaultMessage - fallback default message
See Also:
getNestedPath()

rejectValue

void rejectValue(String field,
                 String errorCode,
                 Object[] errorArgs,
                 String defaultMessage)
Register a field error for the specified field of the current object (respecting the current nested path, if any), using the given error description.

The field name may be null or empty String to indicate the current object itself rather than a field of it. This may result in a corresponding field error within the nested object graph or a global error if the current object is the top object.

Parameters:
field - the field name (may be null or empty String)
errorCode - error code, interpretable as a message key
errorArgs - error arguments, for argument binding via MessageFormat (can be null)
defaultMessage - fallback default message
See Also:
getNestedPath()

addAllErrors

void addAllErrors(Errors errors)
Add all errors from the given Errors instance to this Errors instance.

This is a onvenience method to avoid repeated reject(..) calls for merging an Errors instance into another Errors instance.

Parameters:
errors - the Errors instance to merge in

Get all errors, both global and field ones.

Returns:
List of ObjectError instances

hasGlobalErrors

boolean hasGlobalErrors()
Are there any global errors?

Returns:
true if there are any global errors

int getGlobalErrorCount()
Return the number of global errors.

Returns:
the number of global errors

Get all global errors.

Returns:
List of ObjectError instances

getGlobalError

ObjectError getGlobalError()

FieldError getFieldError(String field)
Get the first error associated with the given field, if any.

the current value of the given field

getFieldType

Class getFieldType(String field)
Return the type of a given field.

Implementations should be able to determine the type even when the field value is null, for example from some associated descriptor.
