Interface Constraint

All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleConstraint, SimpleDateConstraint, SimpleSpinnerConstraint

public interface Constraint

A constraint. Instead of implementing this interface from scratch, you may use SimpleConstraint if applicable.

To have better responsiveness, you can handle more or all validations at the client by implementing an additional interface, ClientConstraint.

If you prefer to have a custom way to display the error message (other than the default error box). You can also implement CustomConstraint. Then, CustomConstraint.showCustomError(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component, org.zkoss.zk.ui.WrongValueException) is called instead of showing the default error box. In addition, ClientConstraint is ignored in this case, since all validation will be done at the server.
