I have class named: ComplexValidator that extends absract class Validator which have two methods:
Validate(Part part);
getAnswer():
I also have validators, lets name them A, B, C and D.
So
AValidator extends Validator
BValidator extends Validator
CValidator extends Validator
DValidator extends Validator
I am not in front of my code right not so I will use pseudo-code.
CValidator takes different parameter than rest of it, A B and D uses part to get filename etc, but CValidator uses numberOfFiles (which are increased in loop (for part p: multipart) so after every time loop is repeated numberoffiles is increased so I can compare it with maxNumberOfFiles field).
Sadly I didnt know how to make abstract class that will take any parameter to method so all methods must take Part part. Cvalidator doesnt use it and I had to make field numberOfFiles static so I can get access to it.
Is there any way to make those validators takes no parameters but no using static? Is there any way to make abstract class the way that child classes will be able to change arguments it take? And if it takes other arguments HOW can I loop it all when I have:
List validators = new ArrayList<>();
in my ComplexValidator.
and then I add all child validators to it and loop over them like that:
for (Validator v: validators){
validate(part);
}
