| How to change ConstraintStatus severity [message #1512265] |

Hi all,
I'd like to use Java classes to do most of my model validation. Because the model I'm working with is HUGE, I would like to define just a single class to validate, and report all possible validation severities (INFO, WARNING, ERROR, etc.) for a given model type.
Currently, the only way I can figure out how to set the severity is in the <constraint> extension point element (e.g. severity="ERROR", etc.) If my model has a hundred or so types, does that mean I need to write a constraint class for each severity level/type combination? In other words, if I have a type "A" do I need a validateAInfos, validateAErrors, validateAWarnings, etc. etc.? This seems like it would lead to an awful lot of duplicated code.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Hi, Bob,
A couple of the ConstraintStatus factory method signatures include a
severity parameter. I'm fairly certain that I have at one time or
another used this to return different messages and severities from a
single constraint, depending on various factors.
So, rather than asking the IValidationContext to create the result
status for you, you can just invoke one of these factory methods to
customize the result.

Hi, Bob,
Don't use the ConstraintStatus constructors, but the static factory
methods. To these you pass the validation context, not the current
IModelConstraint. Although, you could just get the IModelConstraint
like this:
ConstraintRegistry.getInstance().getDescriptor(
ctx.getCurrentConstraintId())
which is what the static factory methods do. That's all public API.

I just noticed the static createStatus() methods which, indeed, accept a context and severity. Never mind
