Method Summary

Report	validate() Validates the configuration.
Report	verify() Verifies the configuration.

Method Detail

verify

Report verify()

Verifies the configuration. All configuration entries are verified with the configuration entry descriptions. A verification requires that the configuration entry descriptions have been set.

The verification process verifies that:

• each entry has an entry description
• multi-valued entries do not have value holes
• the value cardinality is valid
• the value types are valid
• each entry from entry description list is present

Returns:

A validation report

validate

Report validate()

Validates the configuration. A concrete configuration validates the configuration entries. Validation goes beyond simple verification:

• Detects missing entries and adds its defaults
• Rejects unsupported entries
• Checks the version and possibly upgrades the configuration to the most current version

To accomplish this the validator needs more information than is required for just a simple verification.

Returns:

A validation report
