Method Detail

validate

public static void validate(java.lang.Object object,
                            ValidationResult result)

Validates an object based on annotations on its fields. A field is validated if it is marked with an Annotation which is in turn annotated with a ValidatioAnnotation describing the validator class and method used to perform the validation.

Parameters:

object - The object being validated.

result - A BindingResult for storing the results of validation. The result for each validation contains a generated (unless specified by the annotation) error code, and the value of the field as an argument for the error message resolver.

                            ValidationResult result,
                            java.lang.Integer step)

Validates an object based on annotations on its fields. A field is validated if it is marked with an Annotation which is in turn annotated with a ValidatioAnnotation describing the validator class and method used to perform the validation.

Parameters:

object - The object being validated.

result - A BindingResult for storing the results of validation. The result for each validation contains a generated (unless specified by the annotation) error code, and the value of the field as an argument for the error message resolver.

step - The current step in a multistep form, used to determine whether fields with a ValidationStep annotation should be validated.
