public class LongValidator extends AbstractNumberValidator

Long Validation and Conversion routines (java.lang.Long).

This validator provides a number of methods for validating/converting a String value to a Long 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 Long value.

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

  • Constructor Details

    • LongValidator

      public LongValidator()
      Constructs a strict instance.

    • LongValidator

      public LongValidator(boolean strict, int formatType)

      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.
