Interface ConstraintEnumeration<T>

All Superinterfaces:

Constraint<T>, JavaBeanVersion

public interface ConstraintEnumeration<T>
extends Constraint<T>

Specifies an enumeration constraint that can be contextual and dynamic. This interface provides a programmatic extension of the xs:enumeration facet.

Definition in the data model

The constraint must be declared under the element xs:annotation/xs:appinfo/osd:otherFacets:

 <osd:constraintEnumeration class="com.foo.MyConstraintEnumeration" />
 

where com.foo.MyConstraintEnumeration is the fully qualified name of the class implementing this interface. It is also possible to set additional JavaBean properties:

 <osd:constraintEnumeration class="com.foo.MyConstraintEnumeration">
         <param1>...</param1>
         <param2>...</param2>
 </osd:constraintEnumeration>
 

where param1 and param2 are JavaBean properties of the class specified.

For more information, see the JavaBean specification.

Method Detail

getValues

List<T> getValues(ValueContext aContext)
           throws InvalidSchemaException

Returns all values of the underlying enumeration of this constraint. All elements of the returned list must comply with the associated XML Schema type.

Throws:

InvalidSchemaException - if a dynamic condition in the data model prevents the execution of this method.

displayOccurrence

String displayOccurrence(T aValue,
                         ValueContext aContext,
                         Locale aLocale)
                  throws InvalidSchemaException

Returns a string representation of the value specified for the end-user (a label).

The specified value should be compatible with the type of the current node. Specifically, it should be one of the values returned by getValues(ValueContext). However, if this enumeration has changed, it is possible for the value to no longer be in the current enumeration. Therefore, such cases must be handled properly by the implementation of this method, independent of true validation errors.

Parameters:

aValue - The value to display

aContext - The current context

aLocale - The current user locale

Throws:

InvalidSchemaException - if a dynamic condition in the data model prevents the execution of this method.
