Interface EncodingRule

All Superinterfaces:
Rule<String>, Serializable
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractEncodingRule, XMLSchemaRule
public interface EncodingRule extends Rule<String>
A validation rule that applies to encoded message strings. Rules that apply to message content are not included in this category (they are MessageRules and are evaluated against parsed Message object). EncodingRules are intended for criteria that are specific to the encoded form of a message, e.g. "no empty tags in an XML message".
