public class GenericTypeValidator
extends java.lang.Object
implements Serializable
This class contains basic methods for performing validations that return the
correctly typed class based on the validation performed.
static Byte | formatByte(String value) - Checks if the value can safely be converted to a byte primitive.
|
static Byte | formatByte(String value, Locale locale) - Checks if the value can safely be converted to a byte primitive.
|
static Long | formatCreditCard(String value) -
Checks if the field is a valid credit card number.
|
static Date | formatDate(String value, Locale locale) -
Checks if the field is a valid date.
|
static Date | formatDate(String value, String datePattern, boolean strict) -
Checks if the field is a valid date.
|

|
static Float | formatFloat(String value) - Checks if the value can safely be converted to a float primitive.
|
static Float | formatFloat(String value, Locale locale) - Checks if the value can safely be converted to a float primitive.
|

formatByte
public static Byte formatByte(String value)
Checks if the value can safely be converted to a byte primitive.
value
- The value validation is being performed on.
- the converted Byte value.
formatByte
public static Byte formatByte(String value,
Locale locale)
Checks if the value can safely be converted to a byte primitive.
value
- The value validation is being performed on.locale
- The locale to use to parse the number (system default if
null)
- the converted Byte value.
formatCreditCard
public static Long formatCreditCard(String value)
Checks if the field is a valid credit card number.
Reference Sean M. Burke's
script .
value
- The value validation is being performed on.
- the converted Credit Card number.
formatDate
public static Date formatDate(String value,
Locale locale)
Checks if the field is a valid date. The Locale
is used
with java.text.DateFormat
. The setLenient method is set to
false
for all.
value
- The value validation is being performed on.locale
- The Locale to use to parse the date (system default if
null)
- the converted Date value.
formatDate
public static Date formatDate(String value,
String datePattern,
boolean strict)
Checks if the field is a valid date. The pattern is used with java.text.SimpleDateFormat
. If strict is true, then the length will be checked so '2/12/1999' will
not pass validation with the format 'MM/dd/yyyy' because the month isn't
two digits. The setLenient method is set to false
for all.
value
- The value validation is being performed on.datePattern
- The pattern passed to SimpleDateFormat
.strict
- Whether or not to have an exact match of the
datePattern.
- the converted Date value.
formatDouble
public static Double formatDouble(String value)
Checks if the value can safely be converted to a double primitive.
value
- The value validation is being performed on.
- the converted Double value.
formatDouble
public static Double formatDouble(String value,
Locale locale)
Checks if the value can safely be converted to a double primitive.
value
- The value validation is being performed on.locale
- The locale to use to parse the number (system default if
null)
- the converted Double value.
formatFloat
public static Float formatFloat(String value)
Checks if the value can safely be converted to a float primitive.
value
- The value validation is being performed on.
- the converted Float value.
formatFloat
public static Float formatFloat(String value,
Locale locale)
Checks if the value can safely be converted to a float primitive.
value
- The value validation is being performed on.locale

formatInt
public static Integer formatInt(String value)
Checks if the value can safely be converted to a int primitive.
value
- The value validation is being performed on.

formatShort
public static Short formatShort(String value)
Checks if the value can safely be converted to a short primitive.
value
- The value validation is being performed on.
- the converted Short value.
