Class BigDecimalValidator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    CurrencyValidator, PercentValidator
    public class BigDecimalValidator
extends AbstractNumberValidator

    BigDecimal Validation and Conversion routines (java.math.BigDecimal).

    This validator provides a number of methods for validating/converting a String value to a BigDecimal using java.text.NumberFormat to parse either:

    • using the default format for the default Locale
    • using a specified pattern with the default Locale
    • using the default format for a specified Locale
    • using a specified pattern with a specified Locale

    Use one of the isValid() methods to just validate or one of the validate() methods to validate and receive a converted BigDecimal value.

    Fraction/decimal values are automatically trimmed to the appropriate length.

    Once a value has been successfully converted the following methods can be used to perform minimum, maximum and range checks:

    • minValue() checks whether the value is greater than or equal to a specified minimum.
    • maxValue() checks whether the value is less than or equal to a specified maximum.
    • isInRange() checks whether the value is within a specified range of values.

    So that the same mechanism used for parsing an input value for validation can be used to format output, corresponding format() methods are also provided. That is you can format either:

    • using the default format for the default Locale
    • using a specified pattern with the default Locale
    • using the default format for a specified Locale
    • using a specified pattern with a specified Locale

    • Constructor Detail

      • BigDecimalValidator

        public BigDecimalValidator()
        Construct a strict instance.

      • BigDecimalValidator

        public BigDecimalValidator​(boolean strict)

        Construct an instance with the specified strict setting.

        Parameters:
        strict - true if strict Format parsing should be used.

      • BigDecimalValidator

        protected BigDecimalValidator​(boolean strict,
                              int formatType,
                              boolean allowFractions)

        Construct an instance with the specified strict setting and format type.

        The formatType specified what type of NumberFormat is created - valid types are:

        • AbstractNumberValidator.STANDARD_FORMAT -to create standard number formats (the default).
        • AbstractNumberValidator.CURRENCY_FORMAT -to create currency number formats.
        • AbstractNumberValidator.PERCENT_FORMAT -to create percent number formats (the default).
        Parameters:
        strict - true if strict Format parsing should be used.
        formatType - The NumberFormat type to create for validation, default is STANDARD_FORMAT.
        allowFractions - true if fractions are allowed or false if integers only.

        Returns:
        A singleton instance of the BigDecimalValidator.

      • validate

        public java.math.BigDecimal validate​(java.lang.String value)

        Validate/convert a BigDecimal using the default Locale.

        Parameters:
        value - The value validation is being performed on.
        Returns:
        The parsed BigDecimal if valid or null if invalid.

        Validate/convert a BigDecimal using the specified pattern.

        Parameters:
        value - The value validation is being performed on.
        pattern - The pattern used to validate the value against, or the default for the Locale if null.
        Returns:
        The parsed BigDecimal if valid or null if invalid.

        Validate/convert a BigDecimal using the specified Locale.

        Parameters:
        value - The value validation is being performed on.
        locale - The locale to use for the number format, system default if null.
        Returns:
        The parsed BigDecimal if valid or null if invalid.
