Interface ValidationReport

public interface ValidationReport

A validation report is composed of validation items each one is characterized by a severity and has a user message.

Messages threshold property

A threshold property can be set so as to specify the maximum number of messages to consider when performing a validation. It is defined by the property mdm.validation.messages.threshold in 'mdm.properties' file.

This threshold is considered for each severity in each validation report. When the threshold is reached:

• for severities 'error' and 'fatal', the validation is stopped;
• for severities 'info' and 'warning', the validation continues without registering messages beyond the threshold. However the number of messages is still counted and messages of other severities can still be added.

When set to 0 or a negative value the threshold is not considered. Default threshold is 0.
