java.lang.Object
- javax.faces.validator.LengthValidator

All Implemented Interfaces:

EventListener, PartialStateHolder, StateHolder, Validator
```
public class LengthValidator
extends Object
implements Validator, PartialStateHolder
```
LengthValidator is a Validator that checks the number of characters in the String representation of the value of the associated component. The following algorithm is implemented:
- Convert the passed value to a String, if necessary, by calling its toString() method.
- If a maximum property has been configured on this Validator, check the length of the converted String against this limit. If the String length is larger than the specified maximum, throw a ValidatorException containing a a MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_ID message.
- If a minimum property has been configured on this Validator, check the length of the converted String against this limit. If the String length is less than the specified minimum, throw a ValidatorException containing a a MINIMUM_MESSAGE_ID message.
For all of the above cases that cause a ValidatorException to be thrown, if there are parameters to the message that match up with validator parameters, the values of these parameters must be converted using the Converter registered in the application under the converter id javax.faces.Number. This allows the values to be localized according to the current Locale.

public void validate(FacesContext context,
                     UIComponent component,
                     Object value)
              throws ValidatorException
```
    Description copied from interface: Validator
    
    Perform the correctness checks implemented by this Validator against the specified UIComponent. If any violations are found, a ValidatorException will be thrown containing the FacesMessage describing the failure.
    
    For a validator to be fully compliant with Version 2 and later of the specification, it must not fail validation on null or empty values unless it is specifically intended to address null or empty values. An application-wide <context-param> is provided to allow validators designed for JSF 1.2 to work with JSF 2 and later. The javax.faces.VALIDATE_EMPTY_FIELDS <context-param> must be set to false to enable this backwards compatibility behavior.
    
    Specified by:
    
    validate in interface Validator
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - FacesContext for the request we are processing
    
    component - UIComponent we are checking for correctness
    
    value - the value to validate
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if context or component is null
    
    ValidatorException - if validation fails
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object otherObj)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - saveState
```
public Object saveState(FacesContext context)
```
    Description copied from interface: StateHolder
    Gets the state of the instance as a Serializable Object.
    
    If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.saveState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext) method on all those instances as well. This method must not save the state of children and facets. That is done via the StateManager
    
    This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code:
    Object state = component.saveState(facesContext);
    component should be the same as before executing it.
    
    The return from this method must be Serializable
    Specified by:
    
    saveState in interface StateHolder
  - restoreState
```
public void restoreState(FacesContext context,
                         Object state)
```
    Description copied from interface: StateHolder
    
    Perform any processing required to restore the state from the entries in the state Object.
    
    If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that also implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.restoreState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object) method on all those instances as well.
    
    If the state argument is null, take no action and return.
    
    Specified by:
    
    restoreState in interface StateHolder
  - isTransient
```
public boolean isTransient()
```
    Description copied from interface: StateHolder
    
    If true, the Object implementing this interface must not participate in state saving or restoring.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isTransient in interface StateHolder
  - setTransient
```
public void setTransient(boolean transientValue)
```
    Description copied from interface: StateHolder
    
    Denotes whether or not the Object implementing this interface must or must not participate in state saving or restoring.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setTransient in interface StateHolder
    
    Parameters:
    
    transientValue - boolean pass true if this Object will not participate in state saving or restoring, otherwise pass false.
  - markInitialState
```
public void markInitialState()
```
    Description copied from interface: PartialStateHolder
    
    The runtime must ensure that the PartialStateHolder.markInitialState() method is called on each instance of this interface in the view at the appropriate time to indicate the component is in its initial state. The implementor of the interface must ensure that PartialStateHolder.initialStateMarked() returns true from the time markInitialState() is called until PartialStateHolder.clearInitialState() is called, after which time initialStateMarked() must return false. Also, during the time that the instance returns true from initialStateMarked(), the implementation must return only the state that has changed in its implementation of StateHolder.saveState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext).
    
    Specified by:
    
    markInitialState in interface PartialStateHolder
  - initialStateMarked
```
public boolean initialStateMarked()
```
    Description copied from interface: PartialStateHolder
    
    Return true if delta state changes are being tracked, otherwise false
    
    Specified by:
    
    initialStateMarked in interface PartialStateHolder
  - clearInitialState
```
public void clearInitialState()
```
    Description copied from interface: PartialStateHolder
    
    Reset the PartialStateHolder to a non-delta tracking state.
    
    Specified by:
    
    clearInitialState in interface PartialStateHolder
