  • Element Details

    • id

      @NonNull String id
      An optional identifier for the constraint, which must be unique to only this constraint.
      Returns:
      the identifier if provided or an empty string otherwise
      Default:
      ""

    • formalName

      @NonNull String formalName
      An optional formal name for the constraint.
      Returns:
      the formal name if provided or an empty string otherwise
      Default:
      ""

    • description

      @NonNull String description
      An optional description of the constraint.
      Returns:
      the description if provided or an empty string otherwise
      Default:
      ""

    • level

      @NonNull IConstraint.Level level
      The significance of a violation of this constraint.
      Returns:
      the level
      Default:
      ERROR

    • target

      @NonNull String target
      An optional Metapath that points to the target flag or field value that the constraint applies to. If omitted the target will be ".", which means the target is the value of the BoundFlag, BoundField or BoundFieldValue annotation the constraint appears on. In the prior case, this annotation may only appear on a BoundField if the field has no flags, which results in a BoundField annotation on a field instance with a scalar, data type value.
      Returns:
      the target metapath
      Default:
      "."

    • properties

      Property[] properties
      An optional set of properties associated with these allowed values.
      Returns:
      the properties or an empty array with no properties
      Default:
      {}

    • pattern

      @NonNull String pattern
      Retrieve an optional pattern that the associated value must match. This must be a pattern that can compile using Pattern.compile(String).
      Returns:
      a pattern string or an empty string if no pattern is provided
      Default:
      ""

    • typeAdapter

      @NonNull Class<? extends IDataTypeAdapter<?>> typeAdapter
      The Module data type adapter for the data type that the associated value must conform to.
      Returns:
      the data type adapter or a NullJavaTypeAdapter if none is provided
      Default:
      gov.nist.secauto.metaschema.databind.model.annotations.NullJavaTypeAdapter.class

    • message

      @NonNull String message
      The message to emit when the constraint is violated.
      Returns:
      the message or an empty string otherwise
      Default:
      ""

    • remarks

      @NonNull String remarks
      Any remarks about the constraint, encoded as an escaped Markdown string.
      Returns:
      an encoded markdown string or an empty string if no remarks are provided
      Default:
      ""
