Package com.nomagic.magicdraw.validation

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

default void	preRun(Project project, Constraint constraint, Collection<? extends Element> validatedElements)	This method is invoked before run method
Set<Annotation>	run(Project project, Constraint constraint, Collection<? extends Element> elements)	Implementation of the method should perform validating of the specified model elements using specified constraint.

Method Details

init

default 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.

preRun

default void preRun(Project project,
 Constraint constraint)

Deprecated.

replaced by new method preRun(com.nomagic.magicdraw.core.Project, com.nomagic.uml2.ext.magicdraw.classes.mdkernel.Constraint, java.util.Collection)

This method is invoked before run method

Parameters:

project - a project of the constraint.

constraint - a constraint object.

preRun

default void preRun(Project project,
 Constraint constraint,
 Collection<? extends Element> validatedElements)

This method is invoked before run method

Parameters:

project - a project of the constraint.

constraint - a constraint object.

validatedElements - elements to be sent for run

postRun

default void postRun(Project project,
 Constraint constraint)

This method is invoked after run method

Parameters:

project - a project of the constraint.

constraint - a constraint object.

run

Set<Annotation> run(Project project,
 Constraint constraint,
 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

default void dispose()

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