Interface ConstraintNomenclature

All Superinterfaces:

Constraint

public interface ConstraintNomenclature

extends Constraint

Specifies a nomenclature constraint that may be contextual and dynamic.

Note: The enumeration constraint (see ConstraintEnumeration) is more appropriate than this interface when display must be localized or when there are many values in the enumeration.

Schema definition

The constraint must be declared under the element xs:annotation/xs:appinfo/mdm:otherFacets:

 <mdm:constraintNomenclature class="com.foo.MyConstraintNomenclature" />

where com.foo.MyConstraintNomenclature is the fully qualified name of the class implementing this interface. It is also possible to set additional JavaBean properties:

 <mdm:constraintNomenclature class="com.foo.MyConstraintNomenclature">
 	 <param1>...</param1>
 	 <param2>...</param2>
 </mdm:constraintNomenclature>

where param1 and param2 are JavaBean properties of the class specified.

For more information, read JavaBeans specification.
