Hi,
This is regarding the following validation method we have in
ValidationUtils:
/public static <T extends VdcActionParametersBase> ArrayList<String>
validateInputs(List<Class<?>> validationGroupList, T parameters);/
I there any particular reason for supporting the validations only on
objects of classes derived from VdcActionParametersBase? I guess this
was done because this method is primarily intended to validate the
action parameters passed to a BLL action, using the validation
annotations on the parameter class. However I think this method can be
useful for general use as well. e.g. I cannot add a "@Valid" annotation
on a "list" or a "map" in a parameter class. So I need to iterate over
the list/map, and validate each element inside the loop. The validation
inside the loop can also utilize the above method if the restriction
"extends VdcActionParametersBase" is removed. This will allow me to do
the following in the canDoAction method:
protected boolean canDoAction() {
...
for(GlusterBrickEntity brick :
getParameters().getGlusterVolume().getBricks()) {
List<String> errors =
ValidationUtils.validateInputs(getValidationGroups(), brick);
if(errors != null) {
for(String error : errors) {
addCanDoActionMessage(error);
}
}
}
...
}
Regards,
Shireesh
