Simple custom constraint on a property editor [message #948778] Thu, 18 October 2012 07:13 Go to next message

Hello again Smile

Let's say I have a composite with 2 property editors:

<property-editor>dimension</property-editor>
<property-editor>values</property-editor>


Property "dimension" is expected to be entered in the style "2x3" with 2 integers separated by "x"
Property "values" is expected to be something like "12,2,4,2,0,-5" with 6 integers separated by "," while if the dimension is changed to be "1x3" values should be 3 integers.

more generally, I'd like to write Java code that describes the validation of each property editor and the dependency between each other. How can I achieve that?

Thanks for concern Smile

To implement a custom constraint, you need to implement ValidationService and attach it to the property using @Service annotation. Take a look at DuplicateContactValidationService in the contacts sample.

I just don't really understand what you did in the "init" and "dispose" functions .. could you give a simple illustration?

A ValidationService implementation is responsible for informing the system when the state of its validation is likely to have changed. That's done via the broadcast() method that you see being called in the listener. The listener is attached to properties that are involved in the validation computation during init(). In dispose(), the listener is removed.
