Description

Field Validator that checks if the short specified is within a certain range.

Parameters

fieldName - The field name this validator is validating. Required if using Plain-Validator Syntax otherwise not required
min - the minimum value (if none is specified, it will not be checked)
max - the maximum value (if none is specified, it will not be checked)

The min / max value can be specified as an expression, but then you must also enable parsing it by specifying parse param as in the example below. WARNING! Do not use ${min} and ${max} as an expression as this will turn into infinitive loop!

Examples

 <validators>
     <!-- Plain Validator Syntax -->
     <validator type="short">
         <param name="fieldName">age</param>
         <param name="min">20</param>
         <param name="max">50</param>
         <message>Age needs to be between ${min} and ${max}</message>
     </validator>

     <!-- Field Validator Syntax -->
     <field name="age">
         <field-validator type="short">
             <param name="min">20</param>
             <param name="max">50</param>
             <message>Age needs to be between ${min} and ${max}</message>

     <!-- Field Validator Syntax with expression -->
     <field name="age">
         <field-validator type="short">
             <param name="parse">true</param>
             <param name="${minValue}">20</param> <!-- will be evaluated as: Short getMinValue() -->
             <param name="${maxValue}">50</param> <!-- will be evaluated as: Short getMaxValue() -->
             <message>Age needs to be between ${min} and ${max}</message>
