I’ve never written a validator before. Is this okay:
public String validateJobNumber(String value) throws
ValidationException {
value = value.trim();
boolean isNumber = true;
endOfLoop:
for (int i = 0; i < value.length(); i++) {
if (Character.isDigit(value.charAt(i))) {
isNumber = true;
} else {
isNumber = false;
break endOfLoop;
}
}
if (!isNumber) {
throw new ValidationException("There can be only
numbers in the Job Number field! (value was " + value +")");
}
return value;
}
It works, but is there some error that I am making that will bite me later?
