Class AuthenticationValidation

java.lang.Object

services.gui.AuthenticationValidation

@Singleton
public class AuthenticationValidation
extends java.lang.Object

Service class that validates models that create, change or delete users. Usually this validation is part of the model class, but since it's about (important) user authentication, and it is used by other services I put it in an extra class.

Method Detail

validateNewUser

public play.data.Form<NewUserModel> validateNewUser(play.data.Form<NewUserModel> form)

Validates a NewUserModel and returns a Form with errors. It also checks if the user already exists in the database. Usually this is done in the model class, but since here the user DAO is needed I put it in an extra class. In the NewUserModel are still some simple validations.

validateChangePassword

public play.data.Form<ChangePasswordModel> validateChangePassword(play.data.Form<ChangePasswordModel> form)

Validates a ChangePasswordModel and returns the Form with errors. It can either originate in the GUI in the user manager or in the user profile. Usually this would be done in the ChangePasswordModel class, but since here the user DAO is needed I put it in an extra class.
