Method Detail

validate

public void validate(MAGETABInvestigation investigation)
              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:

investigation - the generically typed datamodel object to validate

Throws:

ValidateException - if the supplied source could not be validated

validate

public void validate(MAGETABInvestigation investigation,
            ExecutorService service)
              throws ValidateException,
                     InterruptedException

Description copied from class: AbstractValidator

This default implementation ignored the supplied service and executes tasks in a linear manner, This is retained to preserve backwards compatibility with the 1.0 release.

Specified by:

validate in interface Validator<MAGETABInvestigation>

Overrides:

validate in class AbstractValidator<MAGETABInvestigation>

Parameters:

investigation - the datamodel objects to validate

service - the service to use to execute validation tasks

Throws:

ValidateException - if the supplied source could not be validated

InterruptedException - if execution of a task sent to the Executor Service was interrrupted

addErrorItemListener

public void addErrorItemListener(ErrorItemListener listener)

Description copied from interface: Validator

Register an ErrorItemListener with this parser. Whenever an error is encountered when parsing from the a parserSource, this listener should be notified.

Specified by:

addErrorItemListener in interface Validator<MAGETABInvestigation>

Overrides:

addErrorItemListener in class AbstractValidator<MAGETABInvestigation>

Parameters:

listener - the listener to register
