org.eclipse.wst.validation
Class ValidatorMessage

java.lang.Object
  extended by 
org.eclipse.wst.validation.ValidatorMessage

public class ValidatorMessage
extends java.lang.Object

This class provides a way for a validator to return messages, that are easily converted into IMarkers.

This class is completely optional for validators. A validator can choose to directly manage IMarkers. However, some validators want to be used in multiple contexts, for example as-you-type validation and build based validation. For these types of validators it is not possible for them to use only IMarkers, because often the Resource has not been saved yet.

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.

ValidatorMessage create(java.lang.String message,
                                      IResource resource)
Create a new validation message.

Parameters:
message - The localized message that will be displayed to the user.
resource - The resource that the message is associated with.

asCopy

public 
ValidatorMessage asCopy()
Answer a copy of yourself.


getAttribute

public java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.String attributeName)
Returns the attribute with the given name. The result is an instance of one of the following classes: String, Integer, or Boolean. Returns null if the attribute is undefined.

Parameters:
attributeName - The name of the attribute.
Returns:
the value, or null if the attribute is undefined.

getAttribute

public int getAttribute(java.lang.String attributeName,
                        int defaultValue)
Returns the integer valued attribute with the given name. Returns the given default value if the attribute is undefined or the marker does not exist or is not an integer value.

Parameters:
attributeName - The name of the attribute.
defaultValue - The value to use if no integer value is found.
Returns:
the value or the default value if no integer value was found.

getAttribute

public java.lang.String getAttribute(java.lang.String attributeName,
                                     java.lang.String defaultValue)
Returns the string valued attribute with the given name. Returns the given default value if the attribute is undefined or the marker does not exist or is not a string value.

Parameters:
attributeName - The name of the attribute.
defaultValue - The value to use if no value is found.
Returns:
the value or the default value if no value was found.

getAttribute

public boolean getAttribute(java.lang.String attributeName,
                            boolean defaultValue)
Returns the boolean valued attribute with the given name. Returns the given default value if the attribute is undefined or the marker does not exist or is not a boolean value.

Parameters:
attributeName - The name of the attribute.
defaultValue - The value to use if no value is found.
Returns:
the value or the default value if no value was found.

getAttributes

public java.util.Map getAttributes()
Returns a map with all the attributes for the marker. If the marker has no attributes then null is returned.

Returns:
a map of attribute keys and values (key type : String value type : String, Integer, or Boolean) or null.

getResource

public IResource getResource()
Returns the resource with which this marker is associated.

Returns:
the resource with which this marker is associated

getType

public java.lang.String getType()
Returns the type of this marker. The returned marker type will not be null.

Returns:
the type of this marker

setType

public void setType(java.lang.String type)
Sets the marker type.

Parameters:
type - The marker id to use when creating new markers.

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(java.lang.String attributeName,
                         int value)
Sets the integer valued attribute with the given name.

This method changes resources; these changes will be reported in a subsequent resource change event, including an indication that this marker has been modified.

Parameters:
attributeName - The name of the attribute.
value - The value.

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(java.lang.String attributeName,
                         java.lang.Object value)
Sets the attribute with the given name. The value must be null or an instance of one of the following classes: String, Integer, or Boolean.

Parameters:
attributeName - The name of the attribute.
value - The value, or null if the attribute is to be undefined.

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(java.lang.String attributeName,
                         boolean value)
Sets the boolean valued attribute with the given name.

Parameters:
attributeName - The name of the attribute.
value - The value.

setAttributes

public void setAttributes(java.lang.String[] attributeNames,
                          java.lang.Object[] values)
Sets the given attribute key-value pairs on this marker. The values must be null or an instance of one of the following classes: String, Integer, or Boolean. If a value is null, the new value of the attribute is considered to be undefined.

Parameters:
attributeNames - An array of attribute names.
values - An array of attribute values.

setAttributes

public void setAttributes(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> attributes)
Sets the attributes for this marker to be the ones contained in the given table. The values must be an instance of one of the following classes: String, Integer, or Boolean. Attributes previously set on the marker but not included in the given map are considered to be removals. This includes the text of the message. Setting the given map to be null is equivalent to removing all marker attributes.

Parameters:
attributes - A map of attribute names to attribute values (key type : String value type : String, Integer, or Boolean) or null.
