Method Detail

validateNotNull

This method performs the validation in case value is NOT null. This method contains the actual custom logic for the validation. It is therefore designed in a way that makes it most simple to implement custom validators.
ATTENTION:
For internationalization you should not directly return string literals but use NlsMessage instead.

Specified by:

validateNotNull in class AbstractValueValidator<V extends Comparable<V>>

Parameters:

value - is the value to validate.

Returns:

the failure message or null if the the given value is valid.
