Constructor Detail

EqualStringConstraint

public EqualStringConstraint(String[] testStrings)

Creates an Equal-To-String parameter constraint.

That is, the string value of the parameter to be tested has to be equal to one of the given constraint-strings.

Parameters:

testStrings - constraint-strings.

Method Detail

constraintStrings

private String constraintStrings()

test

public void test(String t)
          throws ParameterException

Checks if the given string value of the string parameter is equal to one of the constraint strings. If not, a parameter exception is thrown.

Specified by:

test in interface ParameterConstraint<String>

Parameters:

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

Throws:

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

getDescription

public String getDescription(String parameterName)

Description copied from interface: ParameterConstraint

Returns a description of this constraint.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface ParameterConstraint<String>

Parameters:

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

Returns:

a description of this constraint
