Constructor Details

AbstractBindingResult

protected AbstractBindingResult(String objectName)

Create a new AbstractBindingResult instance.

Parameters:

objectName - the name of the target object

See Also:

• DefaultMessageCodesResolver

Method Details

setMessageCodesResolver

public void setMessageCodesResolver(MessageCodesResolver messageCodesResolver)

Set the strategy to use for resolving errors into message codes. Default is DefaultMessageCodesResolver.

See Also:

• DefaultMessageCodesResolver

getMessageCodesResolver

public MessageCodesResolver getMessageCodesResolver()

Return the strategy to use for resolving errors into message codes.

getObjectName

public String getObjectName()

Description copied from interface: Errors

Return the name of the bound root object.

Specified by:

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

See Also:

• Errors.rejectValue(String, String, Object[], String)

rejectValue

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

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:

rejectValue in interface Errors

Parameters:

field - the field name (may be null or empty String)

errorCode - error code, interpretable as a message key

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

defaultMessage - fallback default message

See Also:

• Errors.reject(String, Object[], String)

Add all errors from the given Errors instance to this Errors instance.

This is a convenience method to avoid repeated reject(..) calls for merging an Errors instance into another Errors instance.

Specified by:

addAllErrors in interface Errors

errors - the Errors instance to merge in

getFieldErrors

public List<FieldError> getFieldErrors(String field)

Description copied from interface: Errors

Get all errors associated with the given field.

Implementations may support not only full field names like "address.street" but also pattern matches like "address.*".

getFieldErrors in class AbstractErrors

Parameters:

field - the field name

Returns:

a List of FieldError instances

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

See Also:

• Errors.getFieldType(String)

getFieldType

@Nullable
public Class<?> getFieldType(@Nullable

getFieldType in class AbstractErrors

Parameters:

field - the field name

Returns:

the type of the field, or null if not determinable

See Also:

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

field - the field to check

Returns:

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

findEditor

 @Nullable
 Class<?> valueType)

This implementation delegates to the PropertyEditorRegistry's editor lookup facility, if available.

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

 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.

recordFieldValue in interface BindingResult

Parameters:

field - the field to record the value for

type - the type of the field

value - the original value

recordSuppressedField

public void recordSuppressedField(String field)

The data binder invokes this for each field value that was detected to target a disallowed field.

Specified by:

recordSuppressedField in interface BindingResult

See Also:

• DataBinder.setAllowedFields(java.lang.String...)

getSuppressedFields

public String[] getSuppressedFields()

Return the list of fields that were suppressed during the bind process.

value - the value of the field (either a rejected value other than from a binding error, or an actual field value)

Returns:

the formatted value
