getObjectName

public String getObjectName()

Description copied from interface: Errors

Return the name of the bound root object.

getObjectName in interface Errors

reject

public void reject(String errorCode,
                   @Nullable
                   Object[] errorArgs,
                   @Nullable
                   String defaultMessage)

Description copied from interface: Errors

Register a global error for the entire target object, using the given error description.

Specified by:

reject in interface Errors

Parameters:

errorCode - error code, interpretable as a message key

errorArgs - error arguments, for argument binding via MessageFormat (can be null)

defaultMessage - fallback default message

rejectValue

public void rejectValue(@Nullable
                        String field,

Description copied from interface: Errors

Register a field error for the specified field of the current object (respecting the current nested path, if any), using the given error description.

The field name may be null or empty String to indicate the current object itself rather than a field of it. This may result in a corresponding field error within the nested object graph or a global error if the current object is the top object.

Specified by:

Specified by:

addAllErrors in interface Errors

Parameters:

errors - the Errors instance to merge in

                                    String field)

Description copied from interface: BindingResult

Resolve the given error code into message codes for the given field.

Calls the configured MessageCodesResolver with appropriate parameters.

Specified by:

public List<ObjectError> getAllErrors()

Description copied from interface: Errors

Get all errors, both global and field ones.

Specified by:

getAllErrors in interface Errors

Overrides:

getAllErrors in class AbstractErrors

getGlobalError

@Nullable
public ObjectError getGlobalError()

Description copied from interface: Errors

Get the first global error, if any.

Specified by:

the global error, or null

getFieldErrors

public List<FieldError> getFieldErrors()

Description copied from interface: Errors

Get all errors associated with a field.

Specified by:

getFieldErrors in interface Errors

Returns:

a List of FieldError instances

getFieldError

@Nullable
public FieldError getFieldError()

Description copied from interface: Errors

Get the first error associated with a field, if any.

Specified by:

getFieldError in interface Errors

Overrides:

getFieldError in class AbstractErrors

Returns:

the field-specific error, or null

getFieldErrors

public List<FieldError> getFieldErrors(String field)

Description copied from interface: Errors

Get all errors associated with the given field.

Implementations should support not only full field names like "name" but also pattern matches like "na*" or "address.*".

Specified by:

getFieldErrors in interface Errors

Overrides:

getFieldErrors in class AbstractErrors

Parameters:

field - the field name

Returns:

a List of FieldError instances

getFieldError

@Nullable
public FieldError getFieldError(String field)

Description copied from interface: Errors

Get the first error associated with the given field, if any.

Specified by:

getFieldError in interface Errors

Overrides:

getFieldError in class AbstractErrors

Parameters:

field - the field name

Returns:

the field-specific error, or null

getFieldValue

@Nullable
public Object getFieldValue(String field)

Description copied from interface: Errors

Return the current value of the given field, either the current bean property value or a rejected update from the last binding.

Allows for convenient access to user-specified field values, even if there were type mismatches.

Specified by:

getFieldValue in interface Errors

Parameters:

field - the field name

Returns:

the current value of the given field

getFieldType

@Nullable
public Class<?> getFieldType(@Nullable
                                       String field)

This default implementation determines the type based on the actual field value, if any. Subclasses should override this to determine the type from a descriptor, even for null values.

Specified by:

getFieldType in interface Errors

Overrides:

getFieldType in class AbstractErrors

Parameters:

field - the field name

Returns:

the type of the field, or null if not determinable

See Also:

getActualFieldValue(java.lang.String)

getModel

public Map<String,Object> getModel()

Return a model Map for the obtained state, exposing an Errors instance as 'MODEL_KEY_PREFIX + objectName' and the object itself.

Note that the Map is constructed every time you're calling this method. Adding things to the map and then re-calling this method will not work.

The attributes in the model Map returned by this method are usually included in the ModelAndView for a form view that uses Spring's bind tag, which needs access to the Errors instance.

Specified by:

getModel in interface BindingResult

See Also:

getObjectName(), BindingResult.MODEL_KEY_PREFIX

getRawFieldValue

@Nullable
public Object getRawFieldValue(String field)

Description copied from interface: BindingResult

Specified by:

getRawFieldValue in interface BindingResult

Parameters:

field - the field to check

Returns:

the current value of the field in its raw form, or null if not known

findEditor

@Nullable
public PropertyEditor findEditor(@Nullable

                                           @Nullable
                                           Class<?> valueType)

Specified by:

findEditor in interface BindingResult

Parameters:

field - the path of the property (name or nested path), or null if looking for an editor for all properties of the given type

valueType - the type of the property (can be null if a property is given but should be specified in any case for consistency checking)

Returns:

the registered editor, or null if none

getPropertyEditorRegistry

@Nullable
public PropertyEditorRegistry getPropertyEditorRegistry()

This implementation returns null.

Specified by:

getPropertyEditorRegistry in interface BindingResult

Returns:

the PropertyEditorRegistry, or null if none available for this BindingResult

recordSuppressedField

                                            @Nullable
                                            Object value)
