Class ValidateElement

java.lang.Object

org.jivesoftware.smackx.xdatavalidation.packet.ValidateElement

All Implemented Interfaces:

Element, ExtensionElement, NamedElement

Direct Known Subclasses:

ValidateElement.BasicValidateElement, ValidateElement.OpenValidateElement, ValidateElement.RangeValidateElement, ValidateElement.RegexValidateElement

public abstract class ValidateElement
extends Object
implements ExtensionElement

DataValidation Extension according to XEP-0122: Data Forms Validation. This specification defines a backwards-compatible extension to the XMPP Data Forms protocol that enables applications to specify additional validation guidelines related to a FormField in a DataForm, such as validation of standard XML datatypes, application-specific datatypes, value ranges, and regular expressions.
