David Vittor created JSPWIKI-864: ------------------------------------ Summary: ValidationManager added to WikiEngine Key: JSPWIKI-864 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-864 Project: JSPWiki Issue Type: Wish Components: Core & storage Reporter: David Vittor Priority: Minor
Here is another idea. When I write plugins, I spend a lot of time writing code to make sure that the parameters passed into the plugins are valid. Things such as strings, booleans, numbers, urls, emails addresses, etc. I was thinking if we could create a ValidationManager class that could take a List of "Validators (interface)" and pass values for validation. The two main interface method of a Validator would be: * void validate(String value, String type) throws InvalidValueException; * void validate(String value, String type, boolean required) throws InvalidValueException; ** Note: by default "required" would be false. The type would be a static int TYPE_EMAIL, TYPE_STRING, etc. defined in the ValidationManager. The ValidationManager, would have property: * List<Validator> validators; and methods: * void addValidator(Validator v); * Validator removeValidator(Validator v); * List <Validator> getValidators(); This would be very beneficial for all plugin developers, cause then they can call: * wikiContent.getValidationManager().validate(params.get('url'),ValidationManager.TYPE_URL); And they don't need a try catch, as the user will be told exactly what the error was. If all parameters are valid, the plugin can continue to do it's work. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
