validate

public void validate(Problems problems,

 String model)

Description copied from interface: Validator

modelType

public Class<String> modelType()

Description copied from interface: Validator

The type of the model object which can be validated. Necessary due to limitations of the Java implementation of generics, so that model conversions can be done at runtime, and declaratively registered ValidationListeners can be matched with Validator types.

The return value of this method is expected to remain constant throughout the life of this validator.

Specified by:

modelType in interface Validator<String>

Returns:

The type of the model object expected. Note that a validator may be passed a subclass of this type.
