Class EntityValidator

java.lang.Object

com.atlassian.marketplace.client.impl.EntityValidator

public abstract class EntityValidator
extends Object

Provides post-processing of generic model instances after they have gone through the standard JSON deserialization. This consists of the following:

• For any field with an Option type, if the field's value is null (meaning that the field was omitted in the JSON document) we set it to none(). This is necessary because there's no concept of default values in Gson.
• For any field with a @RequiredLink annotation, we look for the corresponding link within the _links property and set it to that value, or signal an error if the link is missing. This ensures, for instance, that an object can promise that it always has a self link and we will never return an instance that does not.
• For any other field, if its value is null we signal an error. Thus, no model properties are nullable; optional fields must always use Option.
