All Implemented Interfaces:

ParameterConstraint<java.lang.Object>

public class ListSizeConstraint
extends java.lang.Object
implements ParameterConstraint<java.lang.Object>

Represents a list-size parameter constraint. The size of the list parameter ( ListParameter) to be tested has to be equal to the specified list size constraint.

FIXME: Unfortunately, we cannot have good type safety anymore right now.

Constructor Detail

ListSizeConstraint

public ListSizeConstraint(int size)

Constructs a list size constraint with the given constraint size.

Parameters:

size - the size constraint for the list parameter

Method Detail

test

public void test(java.lang.Object t)
          throws ParameterException

Checks if the list parameter fulfills the size constraint. If not, a parameter exception is thrown.

Specified by:

test in interface ParameterConstraint<java.lang.Object>

Parameters:

t - Value to be checked whether or not it fulfills the underlying parameter constraint.

Throws:

ParameterException, - if the size of the list parameter given is not equal to the list size constraint specified.

ParameterException - if the parameter to be tested does not fulfill the parameter constraint

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription(java.lang.String parameterName)

Description copied from interface: ParameterConstraint

Returns a description of this constraint.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface ParameterConstraint<java.lang.Object>

Parameters:

parameterName - the name of the parameter this constraint is used for

Returns:

a description of this constraint
