+<h2>How to validate user input for a property</h2>
+
+<h3>Declarative validation</h3>
+
+<p>For properties that accept a text input string, such as <code>String</code> and
+<code>Date</code>, there are convenient mechanisms to validate and/or normalise the
+values typed in:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>For <code>Date</code> and number values the <code>@Mask</code> annotation may be used.</li>
+<li>For <code>String</code> properties the <code>@RegEx</code> annotation may be used.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>More complex validation can also be performed imperatively (below).</p>
+
+<h3>Imperative validation</h3>
+
+<p>A supporting <code>validateXxx()</code> method is used to check that a new value
+for a property is valid.</p>
+
+<p>If the proffered value is deemed to be invalid then the property will
+not be changed. A non-null return <code>String</code> indicates the reason why the
+member cannot be modified/action be invoked; the framework is
+responsible for providing this feedback to the user.</p>
+
+<p>The syntax is:</p>
+
+<pre><code>public String validatePropertyName(PropertyType param)
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>where <code>PropertyType</code> is the same type as that of the property itself.</p>
+
+<p>For example:</p>
+
+<pre><code>public class Exam {
+ public int getMark() { ... }
+ public void setMark(int mark) { ... }
+ public validateMark(int mark) {
+ return !withinRange(mark)? "Mark must be in range 0 to 30":null;
+ }
+ private boolean withinRange(int mark) { return mark >= 0 && mark <= 30; }
+}
+</code></pre>

+<h2>How to validate an object being added or removed from a collection</h2>
+
+<p>A <code>validateAddToXxx()</code> method can be used to check that an object is
+valid to be added to a collection. Conversely, the
+validateRemoveFromXxx() method can be used to check that it is valid to
+remove an object from a collection is valid.</p>
+
+<p>The syntax is:</p>
+
+<pre><code>public String validateAddToCollectionName(EntityType param)
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>and</p>
+
+<pre><code>public String validateRemoveFromCollectionName(EntityType param)
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>A non-<code>null</code> return <code>String</code> indicates the reason why the object cannot
+be added/removed, and the viewing mechanism will display this to the
+user.</p>
+
+<p>For example:</p>
+
+<pre><code>public class Department {
+ public List<Employee> getEmployees() { ... }
+ private void setEmployees(List<Employee> employees) { ... }
+ public String validateAddToEmployee(Employee employee) {
+ return employee.isRetired()?
+ "Cannot add retired employees to department"
+ :null;
+ ...
+}
+</code></pre>

+<h2>How to validate an action parameter argument</h2>
+
+<h3>Declarative validation</h3>
+
+<p>For parameters that accept a text input string, such as <code>String</code> and
+<code>Date</code>, there are convenient mechanisms to validate and/or normalise the
+values typed in:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>For <code>Date</code> and number values the <code>@Mask</code> annotation may be used.</li>
+<li>For <code>String</code> parameters the <code>@RegEx</code> annotation may be used.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>More complex validation can also be performed imperatively (below).</p>
+
+<h3>Imperative validation</h3>
+
+<p>A <code>validateXxx()</code> method is used to check that the set of arguments used
+by an action method is valid. If the arguments are invalid then the
+framework will not invoke the action.</p>
+
+<p>The syntax is:</p>
+
+<pre><code>public String validate<ActionName>([ValueOrEntityType param]...)
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>A non-<code>null</code> return String indicates the reason why the member cannot be
+modified/action be invoked, and the viewing mechanism will display this
+feedback to the user.</p>
+
+<p>For example:</p>
+
+<pre><code>public class Customer {
+ public Order placeOrder(Product p, int quantity) { ... }
+ public String validatePlaceOrder(Product p, int quantity) {
+ if (p.isOutOfStock()) { return "Product is out of stock"; }
+ if (quantity <= 0) { return "Quantity must be a positive value"; }
+ return null;
+ }
+ ...
+}
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>For complex validation, you may wish to use the
+<code>org.apache.isis.applib.util.ReasonBuffer</code> helper class.</p>

+
+<h2>How to validate declaratively using @MustSatisfy</h2>
+
+<p>The <code>@MustSatisfy</code> annotation is an alternative to using imperative
+validation, allowing validation rules to be captured in an
+(implementation of a) <code>org.apache.isis.applib.spec.Specification</code>.</p>
+
+<p>For example:</p>
+
+<pre><code>public class DomainObjectWithMustSatisfyAnnotations extends AbstractDomainObject {
+
+ private String lastName;
+ @MustSatisfy(SpecificationRequiresFirstLetterToBeUpperCase.class)
+ public String getLastName() {
+ resolve(lastName);
+ return lastName;
+ }
+ public void setLastName(String lastName) {
+ this.lastName = lastName;
+ objectChanged();
+ }
+
+ public void changeLastName(
+ @MustSatisfy(SpecificationRequiresFirstLetterToBeUpperCase.class)
+ String lastName
+ ) {
+ setLastName(lastName);
+ }
+
+}
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>To help you write your own <code>Specification</code>s, there are some adapter
+classes in <code>org.apache.isis.applib.specs</code>:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><code>AbstractSpecification</code>, which implements <code>Specification</code> and takes
+inspiration from the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/">Hamcrest</a>
+library's <code>TypeSafeMatcher</code> class</li>
+<li><code>SpecificationAnd</code>, which allows a set of <code>Specification</code>s to be grouped
+together and require that <em>all</em> of them are satisfied</li>
+<li><code>SpecificationOr</code>, which allows a set of <code>Specification</code>s to be grouped
+together and require that <em>at least one</em> of them is satisfied</li>
+<li><code>SpecificationNot</code>, which requires that the provided <code>Specification</code> is
+<em>not</em> satisfied</li>

+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Invoking actions or setting properties requires that the user specify a
+valid value; of the correct type, and that passes any validation rules
+that may have been defined. To make things are easier for the user, you
+can provide lists of choices; viewers typically render these values in a
+drop-down list box.</p>
+
+<p>In a similar vein, there may be a default value for an action parameter;
+this can also be specified.</p>

+<h2>How to specify a set of choices for a property</h2>
+
+<p>The simplest way to provide the user with a set of choices for a
+property (possibly rendered as a drop-down list, for example) is to
+ensure that the type used by the property is marked up as <code>@Bounded</code>
+<!--(see ?)-->.</p>
+
+<p>However, this is not always appropriate. For example you might wish to
+provide the user with the choice of all the Addresses known for that
+Customer, with the most recently-used address as the default.</p>
+
+<p>The syntax for specifying a list of choices is either:</p>
+
+<pre><code>public Collection<PropertyType> choicesPropertyName()
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>or alternatively</p>
+
+<pre><code>public PropertyType[] choicesPropertyName()
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>where <code>PropertyType</code> is the same type as that of the property itself.</p>
+
+<p>For example:</p>
+
+<pre><code>public class Order {
+ public Address getShippingAddress() { ... }
+ public void setShippingAddress() { ... }
+ public List<Address> choicesShippingAddress() {
+ return getCustomer().allActiveAddresses();
+ }
+ ...
+}
+</code></pre>
