Method Details
-
formatByte
Checks if the value can safely be converted to a byte primitive.- Parameters:
value
- The value validation is being performed on.- Returns:
- the converted Byte value.
-
formatByte
Checks if the value can safely be converted to a byte primitive.- Parameters:
value
- The value validation is being performed on.locale
- The locale to use to parse the number (system default if null)- Returns:
- the converted Byte value.
-
formatCreditCard
Checks if the field is a valid credit card number.Reference Sean M. Burke's script.
- Parameters:
value
- The value validation is being performed on.- Returns:
- the converted Credit Card number.
-
formatDate
Checks if the field is a valid date.The
Locale
is used withjava.text.DateFormat
. TheDateFormat.setLenient(boolean)
method is set tofalse
for all.- Parameters:
value
- The value validation is being performed on.locale
- The Locale to use to parse the date (system default if null)- Returns:
- the converted Date value.
-
formatDate
Checks if the field is a valid date.The pattern is used with
java.text.SimpleDateFormat
. If strict is true, then the length will be checked so '2/12/1999' will not pass validation with the format 'MM/dd/yyyy' because the month isn't two digits. TheDateFormat.setLenient(boolean)
method is set tofalse
for all.- Parameters:
value
- The value validation is being performed on.datePattern
- The pattern passed toSimpleDateFormat
.strict
- Whether or not to have an exact match of the datePattern.- Returns:
- the converted Date value.
-
formatDouble

value
- The value validation is being performed on.- Returns:
- the converted Double value.
-
