Field Detail

minLengthRestriction

maxLengthRestriction

protected AbstractLengthDataType.MaxRestriction maxLengthRestriction

Constructor Detail

AbstractLengthDataType

public AbstractLengthDataType(String name,
                              Class<E> classType)

Constructor for big data field.

Parameters:

name - the name of the data type

classType - the class of the data type's possible value

Method Detail

cloneRestrictions

protected void cloneRestrictions(BasicDataType<E> origin)

Description copied from class: BasicDataType

If a datatype is cloned, the restrictions of it (normally implemented as inner classes), must be reinstantiated.

Overrides:

cloneRestrictions in class BasicDataType<E>

inheritRestrictions

protected void inheritRestrictions(BasicDataType<E> origin)

Description copied from class: BasicDataType

If a datatype inherits from another datatype all its restrictions inherit too.

Overrides:

inheritRestrictions in class BasicDataType<E>

getLength

public abstract long getLength(Object value)

In this method should be implemented how to calculate such a length for a certain value of this datatype. There does not exist a generic interface for this, so the implementation will cast to the expected type (String, byte[]..)

Specified by:

getLength in interface LengthDataType<E>

getMinLength

public long getMinLength()

Returns the minimum length of values for this datatype.

Specified by:

getMinLength in interface LengthDataType<E>

Returns:

the minimum length as an int, or 0 if there is no minimum length.

getMinLengthRestriction

public DataType.Restriction<Long> getMinLengthRestriction()

Returns the 'minLength' restriction, containing the value, errormessages, and fixed status of this attribute.

Specified by:

getMinLengthRestriction in interface LengthDataType<E>

Returns:

the restriction as a DataType.Restriction

setMinLength

public void setMinLength(long value)

Sets the minimum length of binary values for this datatype.

Specified by:

setMinLength in interface LengthDataType<E>

Parameters:

value - the minimum length as an long, or 0 if there is no minimum length.

getMaxLength

public long getMaxLength()

Returns the maximum length of values for this datatype.

Specified by:

getMaxLength in interface LengthDataType<E>

Returns:

the maximum length as an long, or a very very big value (Long.MAX_VALUE) if there is no maximum length.

getMaxLengthRestriction

public DataType.Restriction<Long> getMaxLengthRestriction()

Returns the 'maxLength' restriction, containing the value, errormessages, and fixed status of this attribute.

Specified by:

getMaxLengthRestriction in interface LengthDataType<E>

Returns:

the restriction as a DataType.Restriction

setMaxLength

public void setMaxLength(long value)

Sets the maximum length of binary values for this datatype.

Specified by:

setMaxLength in interface LengthDataType<E>

Parameters:

value - the maximum length as an int, or -1 if there is no maximum length.

Throws:

Class<T> - Identifier: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException if this datatype is finished

getEnforceStrength

public int getEnforceStrength()

Description copied from interface: DataType

The maximum enforce strength of all restrictions on this datatype. See DataType.ENFORCE_ALWAYS, DataType.ENFORCE_ONCHANGE, DataType.ENFORCE_NEVER.

Specified by:

getEnforceStrength in interface DataType<E>

Overrides:

getEnforceStrength in class BasicDataType<E>

Returns:

maximum enforce strength

validateCastValueOrNull

protected Collection<LocalizedString> validateCastValueOrNull(Collection<LocalizedString> errors,
                                                              Object castValue,
                                                              Object value,
