validateString

public static java.lang.String validateString(java.lang.Object value,
                                              java.lang.Integer min,
                                              java.lang.Integer max,
                                              java.lang.Boolean canBeNull,
                                              java.lang.String validRegularExpression,
                                              java.lang.String invalidRegularExpression,
                                              java.lang.Boolean isMultipleLinesAllowed)

validate a string

Parameters:

value - the current string value

min - the string minimum length. If null, the string doesn't need to respect a minimum length.

max - the string maximum length. If null, the string doesn't need to respect a maximum length.

canBeNull - flag indicating if the string is allowed to be null.

validRegularExpression - the regular expression to match to be valid.

invalidRegularExpression - the regular expression that must not be matched to be valid.

isMultipleLinesAllowed - option to indicate if multiple lines are allowed

Returns:

the error message that occurred during string validation. Null if the string is considered valid.

validateMultipleLinesAllowed

private static java.lang.String validateMultipleLinesAllowed(java.lang.Boolean isMultipleLinesAllowed,
                                                             java.lang.String stringValue)

validate String doesn't contain multiple lines if it's not allowed.

Parameters:

isMultipleLinesAllowed - option if multiple lines are allowed

stringValue - the string value

Returns:

the error message if the validation check failed

checkInvalidRegularExpression

private static java.lang.String checkInvalidRegularExpression(java.lang.String invalidRegularExpression,
                                                              java.lang.String stringValue)

validate String doesn't match a invalid regular expression

Parameters:

invalidRegularExpression - the invalid regular expression

stringValue - the string value

Returns:

the error message if the validation check failed

checkValidRegularExpression

private static java.lang.String checkValidRegularExpression(java.lang.String validRegularExpression,
                                                            java.lang.String stringValue)

validate String match a valid regular expression

Parameters:

validRegularExpression - the valid regular expression

stringValue - the string value

Returns:

the error message if the validation check failed

validateStringMaximumLength

private static java.lang.String validateStringMaximumLength(java.lang.Integer max,
                                                            java.lang.String stringValue)

validate String Maximum Length

Parameters:

max - the Maximum length

stringValue - the string value

Returns:

the error message if the validation check failed

validateStringMinimumLength

private static java.lang.String validateStringMinimumLength(java.lang.Integer min,
                                                            java.lang.String stringValue)

validate String Minimum Length

Parameters:

min - the minimum length

stringValue - the string value

Returns:

the error message if the validation check failed

fetchSubString

public static java.lang.String fetchSubString(java.lang.String value,
                                              int maxLength)

Fetch a sub string used during error reporting to avoid error messages that are too long. If the string is too long, the maximum length is split in 2 and the resulting string will show the beginning and the ending of the string split by a "..."

Parameters:

value - the string value

maxLength - the maximum string length that can be returned

Returns:

the new string value respecting the maximum length.
