The CVP 9.0(1) javadoc has now been posted to the [url=http://developer.cisco.com/web/cvp/documentation]documentation page[/url].

Thanks Matt!

I'm looking into getting the javadoc on [url=http://developer.cisco.com/web/cvp/documentation]http://developer.cisco.com/web/cvp/documentation[/url] updated, but until then I've attached the latest javadoc for CVP 9.0(1). The attached javadoc includes several classes that are missing on the DVD, including com.audium.server.voiceElement.SettingValidator.   I misremembered when custom validation was added - it was actually in CVP 8.5(1). The javadoc related to custom validation for CVP 9.0(1) should apply equally well to 8.5(1).

Hi Matt, I just looked at the CVP 9 javadocs for VxmlServer and I don't see the SettingValidator there. Can you share more information or documentation on this? Thanks

Hi Matt, I don't see the Validator mentioned in the CVP 9 Programming Guide. Can you post the javadocs for CVP 9 on the documentation page of the CDN? The current javadocs there were posted in 2008. Thanks, Janine

Matt, That's great. Where is this new feature documented? Is in the the CVP Programming Guide? Or the Studio Users Guide? And are there other new features available in the custom java? I would like to add it to my CVPD-Java training class. Thanks, Janine

What you are trying to do can be accomplished in CVP 9 using a custom validator (older versions do not have this capability). The following code snippet should do what you want. The way it works is that Setting A is assigned a custom validator that will fail validation if both it and Setting B are left blank. [code]public class CustomElement extends ElementBase implements ElementInterface {     @Override     public Setting[] getSettings() throws ElementException {         Setting settingA = new Setting("settingA", "Setting A", "The first setting",                 Setting.OPTIONAL, Setting.SINGLE, Setting.SUBSTITUTION_ALLOWED, Setting.STRING);         Setting settingB = new Setting("settingB", "Setting B", "The second setting",                 Setting.OPTIONAL, Setting.SINGLE, Setting.SUBSTITUTION_ALLOWED, Setting.STRING);                 // Validate that at least one of Setting A or Setting B has been set         settingA.setCustomValidator(new OrValidator(settingB));                 return new Setting[] {settingA, settingB};     }     // The rest of the class has been omitted } class OrValidator implements SettingValidator {     private Setting otherSetting;         public OrValidator(Setting otherSetting)     {         this.otherSetting = otherSetting;     }         /**      * Validation method for OrValidator.      * @param value The setting to validate.      * @param setting Contains information about the setting being validated.      * @param allSettingParams Contains information about all settings in the custom element, keyed by each setting's real name.      * @return A list of error messages to display.      */     @Override     public List<String> validate(String value, SettingParams params,             Map<String, SettingParams> allSettingParams)     {         List<String> errors = new ArrayList<String>();                 SettingParams otherSettingParams = allSettingParams.get(otherSetting.getRealName());         if (otherSettingParams != null &&                 StringUtils.isEmpty(otherSettingParams.getCurrentValue()) &&                 StringUtils.isEmpty(value))         {             errors.add("At least one of " + params.getDisplayName() + " or " +                     otherSettingParams.getDisplayName() + " must be set.");         }                 return errors;     } [/code]

I am writing a custom element, and I need to require setting A and/or B. IE, both can be set, or one can be set, but if neither are set, the project will not validate.    Is there a way to set that in a custom element?
