Annotation describing the prefix and data type name or object type of a sub record as part of a sub record list.

Author:

Norman Lahme-Huetig

Required Element Summary

String

prefix The record prefix.

Optional Element Summary

String[]	constraints The constraints to validate.
String	dataTypeName The name of the data type this Record describes.
Class<?>	objectType The type of the object this Record describes.
Class<? extends Validator>	validatorType Specifies the validator type to be used.

Element Detail

prefix

public abstract String prefix

The record prefix.

dataTypeName

public abstract String dataTypeName

The name of the data type this Record describes. If not set, it must be determinable from the given object type or from the generic parameter argument of the annotated field.

It should be explicitly set if the type mapping should not be created from the annotations given in the class objectType. This is useful when mixing explicit type mapping creation with annotation based type mapping creation.

Default:

""

objectType

public abstract Class<?> objectType

The type of the object this Record describes. From this the data type must be determinable if it is not explicity given. If the object type is not set or determinable from the generic parameter argument of the annotated field, the data type name must be given explicitly.

The object type will be ignored if the data type name is given explicitly.

Default:

net.sf.jsefa.common.annotation.NoClass.class

validatorType

public abstract Class<? extends Validator> validatorType

Specifies the validator type to be used. In the default case the validator type is determined using the type of the java field with this annotation.

Default:

net.sf.jsefa.common.annotation.NoValidatorType.class

constraints

public abstract String[] constraints

The constraints to validate. Each constraint is a String of the form 'name=value' where name is the name of the constraint and value is its value. The allowed set of constraints depend on the validator type.

Default:
