Interface ElementValidationRuleImpl

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultValidationRuleImpl

@OpenApiAll
public interface ElementValidationRuleImpl

Defines an interface for all validation rules which works with validation of model elements.

NOTE: Implementations of this interface MUST have a default no-arg constructor.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	dispose() This method will be invoked when instance of the ElementValidationRuleImpl will become no longer needed.
void	init(Project project, Constraint constraint) This is the first method that is invoked on the implementation of the ElementValidationRuleImpl interface.
java.util.Set<Annotation>	run(Project project, Constraint constraint, java.util.Collection<? extends Element> elements) Implementation of the method should perform validating of the specified model elements using specified constraint.

Method Detail

init

void init(Project project,
        Constraint constraint)

This is the first method that is invoked on the implementation of the ElementValidationRuleImpl interface. Implementation can initialize internal state if required.

Parameters:

project - a project of the constraint.

constraint - a constraint object.

run

java.util.Set<Annotation> run(Project project,
                            Constraint constraint,
                            java.util.Collection<? extends Element> elements)

Implementation of the method should perform validating of the specified model elements using specified constraint. The method returns a set of Annotation objects that specifies information about invalid elements.

Parameters:

project - a project of the constraint.

constraint - constraint which defines validation rules.

elements - collection of elements that have to be validated.

Returns:

collection of Annotation objects that describes violations of the rule.

dispose

void dispose()

This method will be invoked when instance of the ElementValidationRuleImpl will become no longer needed.
