## javax.faces.validator
Class LongRangeValidator

    java.lang.Object
      javax.faces.validator.LongRangeValidator

All Implemented Interfaces:
  EventListener, PartialStateHolder, StateHolder, Validator

    public class LongRangeValidator

extends Object
implements Validator, PartialStateHolder

LongRangeValidator is a `Validator` that checks the value of the corresponding component against specified minimum and maximum values. The following algorithm is implemented:

- If the passed value is `null`, exit immediately.
- If the current component value is not a floating point type, or a String that is convertible to long, throw a `ValidatorException` containing a TYPE_MESSAGE_ID message.
- If both a `maximum` and `minimum` property has been configured on this `Validator`, check the component value against both limits. If the component value is not within this specified range, throw a `ValidatorException` containing a `NOT_IN_RANGE_MESSAGE_ID` message.
- If a `maximum` property has been configured on this `Validator`, check the component value against this limit. If the component value is greater than the specified maximum, throw a `ValidatorException` containing a MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_ID message.
- If a `minimum` property has been configured on this `Validator`, check the component value against this limit. If the component value is less than the specified minimum, throw a `ValidatorException` containing a MINIMUM_MESSAGE_ID message.

For all of the above cases that cause a `ValidatorException` to be thrown, if there are parameters to the message that match up with validator parameters, the values of these parameters must be converted using the `Converter` registered in the application under the converter id `javax.faces.Number`. This allows the values to be localized according to the current `Locale`.

Field Summary
`static String` | `MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_ID` The message identifier of the `FacesMessage` to be created if the maximum value check fails.
`static String` | `MINIMUM_MESSAGE_ID` The message identifier of the `FacesMessage` to be created if the minimum value check fails.
`static String` | `NOT_IN_RANGE_MESSAGE_ID` The message identifier of the `FacesMessage` to be created if the maximum or minimum value check fails, and both the maximum and minimum values for this validator have been set.
`static String` | `TYPE_MESSAGE_ID` The message identifier of the `FacesMessage` to be created if the current value of this component is not of the correct type.
`static String` | `VALIDATOR_ID` The standard converter id for this converter.

    public LongRangeValidator()

  Construct a `Validator` with no preconfigured limits.

### LongRangeValidator

    public LongRangeValidator(long maximum)

  Construct a `Validator` with the specified preconfigured limit.

  Parameters:
    `maximum` - Maximum value to allow

    public long getMaximum()

  Return the maximum value to be enforced by this `Validator`.

    public void setMaximum(long maximum)

  Set the maximum value to be enforced by this `Validator`.

  Parameters:
    `maximum` - The new maximum value

    public long getMinimum()

  Return the minimum value to be enforced by this `Validator`.

### setMinimum

    public void setMinimum(long minimum)

  Set the minimum value to be enforced by this `Validator`.

  Parameters:
    `minimum` - The new minimum value

### validate

    public void validate(FacesContext context,
                         UIComponent component,
                         Object value)
                  throws ValidatorException

  Description copied from interface: `Validator`

  Perform the correctness checks implemented by this `Validator` against the specified `UIComponent`. If any violations are found, a `ValidatorException` will be thrown containing the `FacesMessage` describing the failure.

  For a validator to be fully compliant with Version 2 and later of the specification, it must not fail validation on `null` or empty values unless it is specifically intended to address `null` or empty values. An application-wide `<context-param>` is provided to allow validators designed for JSF 1.2 to work with JSF 2 and later. The `javax.faces.VALIDATE_EMPTY_FIELDS` `<context-param>` must be set to `false` to enable this backwards compatibility behavior.

  Specified by:
    `validate` in interface `Validator`
  Parameters:
    `context` - FacesContext for the request we are processing
    `component` - UIComponent we are checking for correctness
    `value` - the value to validate
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if `context` or `component` is `null`
    `ValidatorException` - if validation fails

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object otherObj)

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`

### saveState

    public Object saveState(FacesContext context)

  Description copied from interface: `StateHolder`

  Gets the state of the instance as a `Serializable` Object.

  If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that implement StateHolder (such as a `UIComponent` with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the `StateHolder.saveState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext)` method on all those instances as well. This method must not save the state of children and facets. That is done via the `StateManager`

  This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code:

  `

       Object state = component.saveState(facesContext);

  `

  `component` should be the same as before executing it.

  The return from this method must be `Serializable`

  Specified by:
    `saveState` in interface `StateHolder`

### restoreState

    public void restoreState(FacesContext context,
                             Object state)

  Description copied from interface: `StateHolder`

  Perform any processing required to restore the state from the entries in the state Object.

  If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that also implement StateHolder (such as a `UIComponent` with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the `StateHolder.restoreState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object)` method on all those instances as well.

  Specified by:
    `restoreState` in interface `StateHolder`

### isTransient

    public boolean isTransient()

  Description copied from interface: `StateHolder`

  If true, the Object implementing this interface must not participate in state saving or restoring.

  Specified by:
    `isTransient` in interface `StateHolder`

### setTransient

    public void setTransient(boolean transientValue)

  Description copied from interface: `StateHolder`

  Denotes whether or not the Object implementing this interface must or must not participate in state saving or restoring.

  Specified by:
    `setTransient` in interface `StateHolder`
  Parameters:
    `transientValue` - boolean pass `true` if this Object will not participate in state saving or restoring, otherwise pass `false`.

### markInitialState

    public void markInitialState()

  Description copied from interface: `PartialStateHolder`

  The runtime must ensure that the `PartialStateHolder.markInitialState()` method is called on each instance of this interface in the view at the appropriate time to indicate the component is in its initial state. The implementor of the interface must ensure that `PartialStateHolder.initialStateMarked()` returns `true` from the time `markInitialState()` is called until `PartialStateHolder.clearInitialState()` is called, after which time `initialStateMarked()` must return `false`. Also, during the time that the instance returns `true` from `initialStateMarked()`, the implementation must return only the state that has changed in its implementation of `StateHolder.saveState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext)`.

  Specified by:
    `markInitialState` in interface `PartialStateHolder`

### initialStateMarked

    public boolean initialStateMarked()

  Description copied from interface: `PartialStateHolder`

  Return `true` if delta state changes are being tracked, otherwise `false`

  Specified by:
    `initialStateMarked` in interface `PartialStateHolder`

### clearInitialState

    public void clearInitialState()

  Description copied from interface: `PartialStateHolder`

  Reset the PartialStateHolder to a non-delta tracking state.

  Specified by:
    `clearInitialState` in interface `PartialStateHolder`
