Class DateRangeValidator

java.lang.Object
  org.iscreen.validators.DateRangeValidator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Validator

public class DateRangeValidator
extends java.lang.Object
implements Validator

The date range validator checks a "from" date to a "to" date to ensure that the "to" date is equal to or after the "from" date. If not, the "rangeFailure" is reported. In addition, a third check is done if the "date" property is mapped (not null), where if the "date" property is before the "from" date or after the "to" date, then the "betweenFailure" is reported. The mapping properties are: 'to', 'from' and 'date'.
