Class MergedValidationModel

java.lang.Object

org.apache.sling.validation.impl.model.MergedValidationModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValidationModel

public class MergedValidationModel
extends Object
implements ValidationModel

Generates a merged validation model out of one base ValidationModel and 1 or more models to merge. The resource properties and children are basically concatenated with the exception that if a resource property/child with the same name is already defined in the baseModel it is not added again. That way you can overwrite and even remove validation rules from the model to merge.
