All Implemented Interfaces:

CollectionConstraint

Enclosing class:

CollectionConstraint

public static class CollectionConstraint.AllValuesIn

extends java.lang.Object

implements CollectionConstraint

CollectionConstraint which validates all members of a Collection. All members must be vaild according to the supplied PropertyConstraint, and the total number of members must be acceptable by the given cardinality constraint.

Method Detail

getPropertyConstraint

public PropertyConstraint getPropertyConstraint()

getCardinalityConstraint

public Location getCardinalityConstraint()

accept

public boolean accept(java.lang.Object o)

Description copied from interface: CollectionConstraint

accept returns true if the value fulfills the constraint.

Specified by:

accept in interface CollectionConstraint

validateAddValue

public boolean validateAddValue(java.util.Collection oldcol,
                                java.lang.Object newValue)

Description copied from interface: CollectionConstraint

Return true iff the Collection formed by adding newValue to current would be accepted by this constraint.

Specified by:

validateAddValue in interface CollectionConstraint

validateRemoveValue

public boolean validateRemoveValue(java.util.Collection oldcol,
                                   java.lang.Object victim)

Description copied from interface: CollectionConstraint

Return true iff the Collection formed by removing newValue from current would be accepted by this constraint.

Specified by:

validateRemoveValue in interface CollectionConstraint

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

subConstraintOf

public boolean subConstraintOf(CollectionConstraint cc)

Description copied from interface: CollectionConstraint

subConstraintOf returns true if the constraint is a sub-constraint.

A pair of constraints super and sub are in a superConstraint/subConstraint relationship if every object accepted by sub is also accepted by super. To put it another way, if instanceOf was used as a set-membership indicator function over some set of objects, then the set produced by super would be a superset of that produced by sub.

It is not expected that constraints will neccesarily maintain references to super/sub types. It will be more usual to infer this relationship by introspecting the constraints themselves. For example, CollectionConstraint.ByClass will infer subConstraintOf by looking at the possible class of all items matching subConstraint.

Specified by:

subConstraintOf in interface CollectionConstraint

Parameters:

cc - a CollectionConstraint to check.

Returns:

a boolean.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
