MboValueInfo (Maximo API)

java.lang.Object
- psdi.util.CachedObjectPointer
- - psdi.mbo.MboValueInfo

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public class MboValueInfo
extends CachedObjectPointer
```
This class represents information about a MAXIMO business object attribute. A business object attribute has attributename, validation class name (a Java class with a fully qualified package name), the database column name used to fetch data, the data type, length, scale, whether persistent or not, whether enabled for electronic auditing or not, whether enabled for electronic signature or not, whether long description can be defined for it or not and not more.
A business object attribute can have a validation domain associated with it to validate the attribute value being set. The validation domains are of different types namely Alpha numeric nalue domain, Cross over value domain, Business object value domain, Numeric value domain, Numeric range value domain and Value list value domain. Each validation domain performs validation differently on a completely different set of data.
A business object attribute can have a validation class associated with it to perform validation through Java code. The validation class must have a constructor that takes a MboValue as a parameter and must implement MboValueListener interface. An object of this class is created on demand for every attribue value that has been accessed. This class would have validation preference over the domain validations that are setup.
