MetaModel Validator

isis.core.meta-model.validator.
action-collection-parameter-
choices

true

Whether to validate that any actions that accept action parameters have either a corresponding choices or auto-complete for that action parameter, or are associated with a collection of the appropriate type.

isis.core.meta-model.validator.
allow-deprecated

true

This setting is used to determine whether the use of such deprecated features is allowed.

If not allowed, then metamodel validation errors will be flagged.

Note that this settings has no effect if the programming model has been configured to ignore deprecated features (because in this case the programming model facets simply won’t be included in the introspection process.

isis.core.meta-model.validator.
ensure-unique-object-types

true

Whether to ensure that the object type of all objects (which can be set either explicitly using DomainObject#objectType() or DomainService#objectType(), or can be inferred implicitly using a variety of mechanisms) must be unique with respect to all other object types.

It is highly advisable to leave this set as enabled (the default), and to also use explicit types (see #isExplicitObjectType().

isis.core.meta-model.validator.
explicit-object-type

Whether to ensure that the object type of all objects must be specified explicitly, using either DomainObject#objectType() or DomainService#objectType().

It is highly advisable to leave this set as enabled (the default). These object types should also (of course) be unique - that can be checked by setting the #isEnsureUniqueObjectTypes() config property.

isis.core.meta-model.validator.
jaxb-view-model.
date-time-type-adapter

true

If set, then ensures that for all properties of JAXB-style view models where the property’s type is a date or time, then that property has been correctly annotated with @XmlJavaTypeAdapter (so that the property’s value can be converted into a serializable form).

isis.core.meta-model.validator.
jaxb-view-model.no-arg-constructor

If set, then ensures that all JAXB-style view models have a no-arg constructor.

isis.core.meta-model.validator.
jaxb-view-model.not-abstract

true

If set, then ensures that all JAXB-style view models are concrete classes, not abstract.

isis.core.meta-model.validator.
jaxb-view-model.not-inner-class

true

If set, then ensures that all JAXB-style view models are either top-level classes or nested static classes (in other words, checks that they are not anonymous, local nor nested non-static classes).

isis.core.meta-model.validator.
jaxb-view-model.
reference-type-adapter

true

If set, then ensures that for all properties of JAXB-style view models where the property’s type is an entity, then that entity’s type has been correctly annotated with @XmlJavaTypeAdapter (so that the property’s value can be converted into a serializable form).

isis.core.meta-model.validator.
jdoql.from-clause

true

If set, then ensures that the 'FROM' clause within any JDOQL @Querys annotations relates to a known entity type, and moreover that that type is compatible with the type on which the annotation appears: meaning its either a supertype of or the same type as the annotated type.

isis.core.meta-model.validator.
jdoql.variables-clause

true

If set, then ensures that the 'VARIABLES' clause within any JDOQL @Querys relates to a known entity type.

isis.core.meta-model.validator.
no-params-only

If set, then checks that the supports hideXxx and disableXxx methods for actions do not have take parameters.

Historically, the programming model allowed these methods to accept the same number of parameters as the action method to which they relate, the rationale being for similarity with the validateXxx method. However, since these parameters serve no function, the programming model has been simplified so that these supporting methods are discovered if they have exactly no parameters.

Note that this aspect of the programming model relates to the hideXxx and disableXxx supporting methods that relate to the entire method. Do not confuse these with the hideNXxx and disableNXxx supporting methods, which relate to the N-th parameter, and allow up to N-1 parameters to be passed in (allowing the Nth parameter to be dynamically hidden or disabled).

isis.core.meta-model.validator.
parallelize

true

Whether to perform metamodel validation in parallel.
