int validator
Description
Field Validator that checks if the integer specified is within a certain range.
Parameters
fieldName- The field name this validator is validating. Required if using Plain-Validator Syntax otherwise not requiredmin- the minimum value (if none is specified, it will not be checked)max- the maximum value (if none is specified, it will not be checked)parse- if set to true, minExpression and maxExpression will be evaluated to find min/maxminExpression- 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!
Examples

<!-- Plain Validator Syntax -->
<validator type="int">
<param name="fieldName">age</param>
<param name="min">20</param>
<param name="max">50</param>
<message>Age needs to be between ${min} and ${max}</message>
</validator>
<!-- Field Validator Syntax -->
<field name="age">
<field-validator type="int">
<param name="min">20</param>
<param name="max">50</param>
<message>Age needs to be between ${min} and ${max}</message>
</field-validator>
</field>
<!-- Field Validator Syntax with expression -->
<field name="age">
<field-validator type="int">
<param name="minExpression">${minValue}</param> <!-- will be evaluated as: Integer getMinValue() -->
<param name="maxExpression">${maxValue}</param> <!-- will be evaluated as: Integer getMaxValue() -->
<message>Age needs to be between ${min} and ${max}</message>
