Method Detail

getDefault

public static ApacheValidatorFactory getDefault()

Convenience method to retrieve a default global ApacheValidatorFactory

Returns:

ApacheValidatorFactory

setDefault

public static void setDefault(ApacheValidatorFactory aDefaultFactory)

Set a particular ApacheValidatorFactory instance as the default.

Parameters:

aDefaultFactory -

configure

protected void configure(ConfigurationState configuration)

Configure this ApacheValidatorFactory from a ConfigurationState.

Parameters:

configuration -

getProperties

public Map<String,String> getProperties()

Get the property map of this ApacheValidatorFactory.

Returns:

Map

getValidator

public Validator getValidator()

Shortcut method to create a new Validator instance with factory's settings

Specified by:

getValidator in interface ValidatorFactory

Returns:

the new validator instance

usingContext

public ApacheFactoryContext usingContext()

Specified by:

usingContext in interface ValidatorFactory

Returns:

the validator factory's context

clone

public ApacheValidatorFactory clone()

Overrides:

clone in class Object

setMessageInterpolator

public final void setMessageInterpolator(MessageInterpolator messageResolver)

Set the MessageInterpolator used.

Parameters:

messageResolver -

getMessageInterpolator

public MessageInterpolator getMessageInterpolator()

Specified by:

getMessageInterpolator in interface ValidatorFactory

setTraversableResolver
