Description

Field Validator that checks if the date supplied is within a specific range.

NOTE: If no date converter is specified, XWorkBasicConverter will kick in to do the date conversion, which by default using the Date.SHORT format using the a problematically specified locale else falling back to the system default locale.

Parameters

  • fieldName - The field name this validator is validating. Required if using Plain-Validator Syntax otherwise not required
  • min - the min date range. If not specified will not be checked.
  • max - the max date range. If not specified will not be checked.
  • parse - if set to true, minExpression and maxExpression will be evaluated to find min/max
  • minExpression - expression to calculate the minimum value (if none is specified, it will not be checked)
  • maxExpression - expression to calculate the maximum value (if none is specified, it will not be checked)

You can either use the min / max value or minExpression / maxExpression (when parse is set to true) - using expression can be slightly slower, see the example below.

Warning

Do not use ${minExpression} and ${maxExpression} as an expression as this will turn into infinitive loop!
