Method Detail

validate

public void validate(IDF idf)
              throws ValidateException

Description copied from interface: Validator

Perform validation of the supplied validator source.

A ValidateException will be thrown if the supplied data could not be validated at all. You should not rely on an exception being thrown to determine whether the supplied MAGE-TAB is valid, as validator implementations may ignore invalid or unreadable sections. Instead you should register an ErrorItem listener and check that there are no critical error events fired during the validate operation.

Parameters:

idf - the generically typed datamodel object to validate

Throws:

ValidateException - if the supplied source could not be validated
