Method Detail

getValidationModel

@CheckForNull
ValidationModel getValidationModel(@Nonnull
                                                 String validatedResourceType,
                                                 String resourcePath,
                                                 boolean considerResourceSuperTypeModels)
                                          throws IllegalStateException,
                                                 IllegalArgumentException

Tries to obtain a ValidationModel that is able to validate a Resource of type validatedResourceType.

Parameters:

validatedResourceType - the type of Resources the model validates, should be either relative (i.e. not start with a "/") or starting with one of the resource resolver's search paths

resourcePath - the path of the validated resource, may be null or empty. Must match the applicablePath property of the model

considerResourceSuperTypeModels - if true will also consider the validation model of the resource super type (recursively), otherwise not.

Returns:

a ValidationModel if one is found, null otherwise

Throws:

IllegalStateException - in case an invalid validation model was found

IllegalArgumentException - in case validatedResourceType was blank, null or absolute but outside of the search paths or some other error occurred while retrieving the models.

getValidationModel

@CheckForNull
ValidationModel getValidationModel(@Nonnull
                                                 Resource resource,
                                                 boolean considerResourceSuperTypeModels)
                                          throws IllegalStateException,
                                                 IllegalArgumentException

Tries to obtain a ValidationModel that is able to validate the given resource.

Parameters:

resource - the resource for which to obtain a validation model

considerResourceSuperTypeModels - if true will also consider the validation model of the resource super type (recursively), otherwise not.

Returns:

a ValidationModel if one is found, null otherwise

Throws:

IllegalStateException - in case an invalid validation model was found

IllegalArgumentException - in case resourceType being set on the given resource is blank, not set or absolute but outside of the search paths or some other error occurred while retrieving the models.

validate

@Nonnull
ValidationResult validate(@Nonnull
                                   Resource resource,
                                   @Nonnull
                                   ValidationModel model)
                            throws SlingValidationException,
                                   IllegalStateException

Validates a Resource using a specific ValidationModel. If the model describes a resource tree, the ResourceResolver associated with the resource will be used for retrieving information about the resource's descendants.

Parameters:

resource - the resource to validate

model - the model with which to perform the validation

Returns:

a ValidationResult that provides the necessary information

Throws:

SlingValidationException - if one validator was called with invalid arguments

IllegalStateException - if a validator id referenced in the given model could not be resolved

validate

@Nonnull
ValidationResult validate(@Nonnull
                                   ValueMap valueMap,
                                   @Nonnull
                                   ValidationModel model)
                            throws SlingValidationException

Validates a ValueMap or any object adaptable to a ValueMap using a specific ValidationModel. Since the valueMap only contains the direct properties of the adapted object, the model's descendants description should not be queried for this validation operation.

Parameters:

valueMap - the map to validate

model - the model with which to perform the validation

Returns:

a ValidationResult that provides the necessary information

Throws:

SlingValidationException - if one validator was called with invalid arguments

validateResourceRecursively

@Nonnull
ValidationResult validateResourceRecursively(@Nonnull
                                                      Resource resource,
                                                      boolean enforceValidation,
                                                      java.util.function.Predicate<Resource> filter,
                                                      boolean considerResourceSuperTypeModels)
                                               throws IllegalStateException,
                                                      IllegalArgumentException,
                                                      SlingValidationException

Validates a Resource and all child resources recursively by traversing through the resource tree starting from the given resource. For all resources which are included in the given filter the according ValidationModel is retrieved and validation is called on those resources.

Parameters:

resource - the root resource which is validated

enforceValidation - if true will throw an IllegalArgumentException in case a validation model could not be found for a (not-ignored) resource

filter - a Predicate on a resource which is evaluated to determine whether a given resource should be validated. May be null in which case all resources are validated. Children of ignored resources are still validated (if this predicate applies to them).

considerResourceSuperTypeModels - if true will also consider the validation model of the resource super type (recursively), otherwise not.

Returns:

the aggregated ValidationResult over all child resource validations

Throws:

IllegalStateException - in case an invalid validation model was found

IllegalArgumentException - in case resourceType is absolute but outside of the search paths or if no validation model could be found (and enforceValidation is true).

SlingValidationException - if one validator was called with invalid arguments
