velosurf.validation
Class DateRange

java.lang.Object
  velosurf.validation.FieldConstraint
      velosurf.validation.DateRange

public class DateRange
extends FieldConstraint

A type and range constraint on dates. Syntax is:

    <column [type="date"] [after="date-after"] [before="date-before"] />
  

The type="date" parameter is implied when after or before is found.

Or:

     <column>
       <date [after="afer-date"] [before="before-date"] [format="SimpleDateFormat format"] [message="error-message"] />
     </column>
   

The format used to specify after and before dates is always yyyyMMdd. The format used to parse the input is by default the short local date format (which depends upon the user locale) but can be configured using the format attribute.
