Class SedolValidator

java.lang.Object

org.apache.bval.extras.constraints.checkdigit.SedolValidator

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.validation.ConstraintValidator<Sedol,CharSequence>

public final class SedolValidator
extends Object

Modulus 10 SEDOL (UK Securities) Check Digit calculation/validation.

SEDOL Numbers are 7 character alphanumeric codes used to identify UK Securities (SEDOL stands for Stock Exchange Daily Official List).

Check digit calculation is based on modulus 10 with digits being weighted based on their position, from left to right, as follows:

      position:  1  2  3  4  5  6  7
     weighting:  1  3  1  7  3  9  1
 

See Wikipedia - SEDOL for more details.

Method Detail

weightedValue

protected int weightedValue(int charValue,
                            int leftPos,
                            int rightPos)
                     throws Exception

Calculates the weighted value of a character in the code at a specified position.

Some modulus routines weight the value of a character depending on its position in the code (e.g. ISBN-10), while others use different weighting factors for odd/even positions (e.g. EAN or Luhn). Implement the appropriate mechanism required by overriding this method.

Parameters:

charValue - The numeric value of the character

leftPos - The position of the character in the code, counting from left to right

rightPos - The position of the character in the code, counting from right to left

Returns:

The weighted value of the character

Throws:

Exception

toInt

protected int toInt(char character,
                    int leftPos,
                    int rightPos)

Convert a character at a specified position to an integer value.

Note: this implementation only handlers numeric values For non-numeric characters, override this method to provide character-->integer conversion.

Parameters:

character - The character to convert

leftPos - The position of the character in the code, counting from left to right

rightPos - The positionof the character in the code, counting from right to left

Returns:

The integer value of the character

initialize

public final void initialize(A annotation)

Specified by:

initialize in interface javax.validation.ConstraintValidator<A extends Annotation,CharSequence>

isValid

public boolean isValid(CharSequence code,
                       javax.validation.ConstraintValidatorContext context)

Specified by:

isValid in interface javax.validation.ConstraintValidator<A extends Annotation,CharSequence>

sumDigits

protected static int sumDigits(int number)

Add together the individual digits in a number.

Parameters:

number - The number whose digits are to be added

Returns:

The sum of the digits
