/**
 * General interface that represents binding results. Extends the
 * {@link Errors interface} for error registration capabilities,
 * allowing for a {@link Validator} to be applied, and adds
 * binding-specific analysis and model building.
 *
 * 

Serves as result holder for a {@link DataBinder}, obtained via * the {@link DataBinder#getBindingResult()} method. BindingResult * implementations can also be used directly, for example to invoke * a {@link Validator} on it (e.g. as part of a unit test). * * @author Juergen Hoeller * @since 2.0 * @see DataBinder * @see Errors * @see Validator * @see BeanPropertyBindingResult * @see DirectFieldBindingResult * @see MapBindingResult */ public interface BindingResult extends Errors { /** * Prefix for the name of the BindingResult instance in a model, * followed by the object name. */ String MODEL_KEY_PREFIX = BindingResult.class.getName() + "."; /** * Return the wrapped target object, which may be a bean, an object with * public fields, a Map - depending on the concrete binding strategy. */ Object getTarget(); /** * Return a model Map for the obtained state, exposing a BindingResult * instance as '{@link #MODEL_KEY_PREFIX MODEL_KEY_PREFIX} + objectName' * and the object itself as 'objectName'. *

Note that the Map is constructed every time you're calling this method. * Adding things to the map and then re-calling this method will not work. *

The attributes in the model Map returned by this method are usually * included in the {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView} * for a form view that uses Spring's {@code bind} tag in a JSP, * which needs access to the BindingResult instance. Spring's pre-built * form controllers will do this for you when rendering a form view. * When building the ModelAndView instance yourself, you need to include * the attributes from the model Map returned by this method. * @see #getObjectName() * @see #MODEL_KEY_PREFIX * @see org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView * @see org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.BindTag */ Map getModel(); /** * Extract the raw field value for the given field. * Typically used for comparison purposes. * @param field the field to check * @return the current value of the field in its raw form, * or {@code null} if not known */ Object getRawFieldValue(String field); /** * Find a custom property editor for the given type and property. * @param field the path of the property (name or nested path), or * {@code null} if looking for an editor for all properties of the given type * @param valueType the type of the property (can be {@code null} if a property * is given but should be specified in any case for consistency checking) * @return the registered editor, or {@code null} if none */ PropertyEditor findEditor(String field, Class valueType); /** * Return the underlying PropertyEditorRegistry. * @return the PropertyEditorRegistry, or {@code null} if none * available for this BindingResult */ PropertyEditorRegistry getPropertyEditorRegistry(); /** * Add a custom {@link ObjectError} or {@link FieldError} to the errors list. *

Intended to be used by cooperating strategies such as {@link BindingErrorProcessor}. * @see ObjectError * @see FieldError * @see BindingErrorProcessor */ void addError(ObjectError error); /** * Resolve the given error code into message codes. *

Calls the configured {@link MessageCodesResolver} with appropriate parameters. * @param errorCode the error code to resolve into message codes * @return the resolved message codes */ String[] resolveMessageCodes(String errorCode); /** * Resolve the given error code into message codes for the given field. *

Calls the configured {@link MessageCodesResolver} with appropriate parameters. * @param errorCode the error code to resolve into message codes * @param field the field to resolve message codes for * @return the resolved message codes */ String[] resolveMessageCodes(String errorCode, String field); /** * Mark the specified disallowed field as suppressed. *

The data binder invokes this for each field value that was * detected to target a disallowed field. * @see DataBinder#setAllowedFields */ void recordSuppressedField(String field); /** * Return the list of fields that were suppressed during the bind process. *

Can be used to determine whether any field values were targeting * disallowed fields. * @see DataBinder#setAllowedFields */ String[] getSuppressedFields(); }
