Class ValidationFramework
java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.wst.validation.ValidationFramework
-
public final class ValidationFramework
- extends java.lang.Object
The central class of the Validation Framework.
This is a singleton class that is accessed through the getDefault() method.
Provisional API: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to
change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback
from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken
(repeatedly) as the API evolves.

ValidationFramework getDefault()
- Answer the singleton, default instance of this class.
-
addValidationBuilder
public void addValidationBuilder(IProject project)
- Add the validation builder to the project, so that the project can support
build time validation. It is safe to call this method, if the builder was
previously added to the project. It will not be added more than once.
-
-
Parameters:
-
project - The project that the builder is added to.
clearMessages
public void clearMessages(IResource resource,
java.lang.String validatorId)
throws CoreException
- Clear any validation markers that may have been set by this validator.

-
resource - The resource that may have it's markers cleared. -
validatorId - The id of validator that created the marker.
-
Throws:
-
CoreException
disableValidation
public void disableValidation(IResource resource)
- Disable all validation for the given resource. This method instructs
the framework to not run any validators on the given resource or any of
it's children. This setting is persistent. Currently this only works with version 2
validators.
Use the enableValidation method to restore validation.
-
-
Parameters:
-
resource - The resource that is having validation disabled. It must be an IFolder or an IFile. -
See Also:
-
enableValidation(IResource)
enableValidation
public void enableValidation(IResource resource)
- Enable validation for the given resource. If the resource was not
previously disabled this method call has no effect. Currently this only
works with version 2 validators.
-
-
Parameters:
-
resource - The resource that is having validation re-enabled. -
See Also:
-
disableValidation(IResource)
getDependencyIndex
public
IDependencyIndex getDependencyIndex()
- Answer the dependency index. Validators can use this to determine which resources depend on which
other resources.
-
getPerformanceMonitor
public
IPerformanceMonitor getPerformanceMonitor()
- Answer a performance monitor for the validators.
-
getPreferenceStore
public IEclipsePreferences getPreferenceStore()
- Answer the preference store that holds the persisted global validation settings.
-
getReporter
public
IReporter getReporter(IProject project,
IProgressMonitor monitor)
-
getValidatorsFor
public
Validator[] getValidatorsFor(IResource resource,
boolean isManual,
boolean isBuild)
- Answer all the validators that are applicable for the given resource. A validator is
still returned even if it has been turned off by the user.
The caller may still need to test if the validator has been turned off by
the user, by using the isBuildValidation() and isManualValidation()
methods.
-
-
Parameters:
-
resource - The resource that determines which validators are applicable. -
isManual - If true then the validator must be turned on for manual validation.
If false then the isManualValidation setting isn't used to filter
out validators. -
isBuild - If true then the validator must be turned on for build based
validation. If false then the isBuildValidation setting isn't used
to filter out validators. -
See Also:
-
Validator.isBuildValidation(),
Validator.isManualValidation()
getDisabledValidatorsFor
public java.util.Set<
Validator> getDisabledValidatorsFor(IResource resource)
- Answer all the validators that should not validate the resource, either
because their filters don't support the resource, or the validator has
been disabled for both build validation and manual validation.
-
-
Parameters:
-
resource - The resource this is being tested.
getValidator
public
Validator getValidator(java.lang.String id)
-
Deprecated. Use getValidator(String id, IProject project) with a null project instead.
- Answer the global validator with the given id.
-
-
Parameters:
-
id -
-
Returns:
- null if the validator is not found
getValidator
public
Validator getValidator(java.lang.String id,
IProject project)
- Answer the validator with the given id that is in effect for the given
project.
Individual projects may override the global validation preference
settings. If this is allowed and if the project has it's own settings,
then those validators are returned via this method.
The following approach is used. For version 1 validators, the validator
is only returned if it is defined to operate on this project type. This
is the way that the previous version of the framework did it. For version
2 validators, they are all returned.
-
-
Parameters:
-
id - Validator id. -
project - This can be null, in which case all the registered validators are
checked.
-
Returns:
- null if the validator is not found
getValidators
public
Validator[] getValidators()
- Answer copies of all the registered validators.
-
-
Returns:
- Answer an empty array if there are no validators.
getProjectSettings
public
MutableProjectSettings getProjectSettings(IProject project)
- Answer the validation settings that have been defined on the
project. To "activate" any changes to these settings, the
applyChanges(MutableProjectSettings, boolean) method needs to be
called.
-
-
Parameters:
-
project - The project who's settings you wish to examine or change.
-
Returns:
- Validation settings that apply to the given project.
getWorkspaceSettings
public
MutableWorkspaceSettings getWorkspaceSettings()
throws java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
- Answer the validation settings that have been defined at the workspace level.
To "activate" any changes to these settings, the
applyChanges(MutableWorkspaceSettings, boolean) method needs to be
called.
-
-
Returns:
- Validation settings that apply to the entire workspace.
-
Throws:
-
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
applyChanges
public void applyChanges(
MutableProjectSettings settings,
boolean persist)
- Apply the changes that have been been to the validation settings.
-
-
Parameters:
-
settings - The project settings. -
persist - If true then the changes are persisted to the property files.
If false the changes are applied to the validators, but are
not persisted.
applyChanges
public void applyChanges(
MutableWorkspaceSettings settings,
boolean persist)
- Apply the changes that have been been to the validation settings.
-
-
Parameters:
-
settings - The workspace settings. -
persist - If true then the changes are persisted to the property files.
If false the changes are applied to the validators, but are
not persisted.
getValidatorsConfiguredForProject
public
Validator[] getValidatorsConfiguredForProject(IProject project)
throws org.eclipse.wst.validation.internal.ProjectUnavailableError
- Validators can use project level settings (Project natures and facets) to
determine if they are applicable to the project or not.
-
-
Parameters:
-
project - The project that the configuration is based on.
-
Returns:
- The copies of the validators that are configured to run on this project based
on the project level settings.
-
Throws:
-
org.eclipse.wst.validation.internal.ProjectUnavailableError
getValidatorsFor
public
Validator[] getValidatorsFor(IResource resource)
- Answer all the validators that are applicable for the given resource.
-
-
Parameters:
-
resource - the resource that determines which validators are applicable.
hasValidators
public boolean hasValidators(IResource resource,
boolean isManual,
boolean isBuild)
- Answer true if the resource has any enabled validators.
-
-
Parameters:
-
resource - A file, folder or project. -
isManual - If true then the validator must be turned on for manual validation.
If false then the isManualValidation setting isn't used to filter
out validators. -
isBuild - If true then the validator must be turned on for build based
validation. If false then the isBuildValidation setting isn't used
to filter out validators.
isLoaded
public boolean isLoaded(
Validator validator)
- Answer whether or not the validator has been activated, i.e. has the
bundle that defines the validator been loaded. We do not want to cause
unnecessary bundle loading, so this check can be performed by third party
callers, to prevent making other calls that will force the validator to
be loaded.
-
-
Parameters:
-
validator - The validator that is being tested.
-
Returns:
- true if the validator has already been loaded.
join
public void join(IProgressMonitor monitor)
throws java.lang.InterruptedException,
OperationCanceledException
- Waits until all validation jobs are finished. This method will block the
calling thread until all such jobs have finished executing, or until this
thread is interrupted. If there are no validation jobs that are
currently waiting, running, or sleeping, this method returns immediately.
Feedback on how the join is progressing is provided to the progress
monitor.
If this method is called while the job manager is suspended, only jobs
that are currently running will be joined. Once there are no jobs in the
family in the Job#RUNNING state, this method returns.
Note that there is a deadlock risk when using join. If the calling thread
owns a lock or object monitor that the joined thread is waiting for,
deadlock will occur. This method can also result in starvation of the
current thread if another thread continues to add jobs of the given
family, or if a job in the given family reschedules itself in an infinite
loop.
-
-
Parameters:
-
monitor - Progress monitor for reporting progress on how the wait is
progressing, or null if no progress monitoring is
required.
-
Throws:
-
java.lang.InterruptedException - if this thread is interrupted while waiting
-
OperationCanceledException - if the progress monitor is canceled while waiting
suspendValidation
public void suspendValidation(IProject project,
boolean suspend)
- Suspends, or undoes the suspension of, validation on the current project.
If suspend is true then validation is suspended and if it's false
then validation is not suspended on the project. The value of this
variable is not persisted.
Be very careful when you use this method! Turn validation back on in a
finally block because if the code which suspended validation crashes, the
user has no way to reset the suspension. The user will have to shut down
and restart the workbench to get validation to work again.
-
-
Parameters:
-
project - The project that is to be suspended or unsuspended. -
suspend - If true, validation on the project will be suspend. If false it will
not be suspended.
saveValidators
public void saveValidators(
Validator[] validators)
throws java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
- Save the validators settings into the persistent store, there by making their settings the active settings.
A common use of this method would be to change whether particular validators are enabled or not. For example
if you only wanted the JSP validator enabled, you could use code similar to this:
ValidationFramework vf = ValidationFramework.getDefault();
Validator[] vals = vf.getValidators();
for (Validator v : vals){
boolean enabled = false;
if (v.getValidatorClassname().equals("org.eclipse.jst.jsp.core.internal.validation.JSPBatchValidator"))enabled = true;
v.setBuildValidation(enabled);
v.setManualValidation(enabled);
}
vf.saveValidators(vals);
-
-
Parameters:
-
validators - The validators that you are saving.
-
Throws:
-
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
suspendAllValidation
public void suspendAllValidation(boolean suspend)
- Suspends, or undoes the suspension of, validation on all projects in the
workbench. If "suspend" is true then validation is suspended and if it's
"false" then validation is not suspended. The value of this variable is
not persisted.
Be very careful when you use this method! Turn validation back on in a
finally block because if the code which suspended validation crashes, the
user has no way to reset the suspension. The user will have to shut down
and restart the workbench to get validation to work again.
-
isSuspended
public boolean isSuspended()
- Return true if "suspend all" is enabled, false otherwise.
-
isSuspended
public boolean isSuspended(IProject project)
- Returns true if validation will not run on the project because it's been suspended. This
method checks only the suspension status; if validation cannot run for some other reason (for
example, there are no enabled validators), yet the IProject is not suspended, this method
will return true even though validation will not run.
-
isProjectSuspended
public boolean isProjectSuspended(IProject project)
- This method should be called by any code that is preparing to suspend validation on a
project. Rather than calling isSuspended(IProject), which will also return true if all validation
has been suspended.
-
-
Parameters:
-
project - the project that is being tested
-
Returns:
- boolean true if the project has been suspended
validate
public
ValidationResults validate(IProject[] projects,
