| nl.knowlogy.validation.ClassValidator
All known Subclasses: nl.knowlogy.validation.ClassValidatorImpl,
| ClassValidator | | public interface ClassValidator (Code) | |
A ClassValidator validates objects of specific classes and can be registered
with a ValidationEngine. The ValidationEngine uses these classvalidators
for validating objects, by calling the validate method.
ClassValidatorImpl forms the baseclass for objects which are implementing the
ClassValidator interface. These validation classes can be generated with XDoclet tags or
annotations in classes which they are validating.
