Interface Validator

All Known Implementing Classes:

ValidatorImpl

public interface Validator

An interface to be implemented by objects wanting to provide validation of an edited object.
The validation can happen at two stages:

• Continuous validation: this validation is triggered at any modification event coming from the editor. you will get each time the modification event and you are supposed to validate only the modified field. This validation uses a single validation report that must be updated at each event.
• Before-commit validation: Should be a throughout validation verifying everything.
