Hey guys,
I am looking for a decent solution for the following scenario.
I have a CustomerEditor which lets you add a customer to the system. I use JFace Databinding to keep model and ui synced.
Most of the properties on the customer object are Domain values and not sole Strings or ints, so I use converters to get the transition done.
One top of that, I follow the Design By Contract approach which means that all the properties have preconditions before their DomainValue can be created. I use validators to get this done.
Now the problem: The validation, converting works just fine. But, the thing is when I enter invalid data, the model won't get updated (which is cool since it remains in a consistent state this way.
When the user hit's the save button, I have to check that all fields in the form have valid content, otherwise I'd return an error message. So, how do I check whether or not all text fields in my form have valid contents ? Is there an implementation available already or would I have to come up with my own stuff?
Thanks

You can query this using DatabindingContext#getValidationStatusProviders()

Hi,
hope that I understood your question :-)
During binding the values I also create an AggregateValidationStatus.
avStatus = new AggregateValidationStatus(bindingContext.getBindings(),
AggregateValidationStatus.MAX_SEVERITY);
On save I do:
bindingContext.updateModels();
final IStatus iStatus = (IStatus) avStatus.getValue();
if (!ValidationStatus.OK_STATUS.equals(iStatus)) {
// something could not be validated
} else {
// perform save
}
Could that help?
