InputVerifierProcessor (Metawidget API Documentation)

All Implemented Interfaces:

Immutable, WidgetProcessor<JComponent,SwingMetawidget>
```
public abstract class InputVerifierProcessor
extends Object
implements WidgetProcessor<JComponent,SwingMetawidget>
```
Processor to add Swing InputVerifiers to a Component.
This class is abstract, because Swing does not provide any implemented InputVerifiers out of the box. Clients must extend this class and implement getInputVerifier to integrate their own verifiers.

public JComponent processWidget(JComponent component,
                       String elementName,
                       Map<String,String> attributes,

    Description copied from interface: WidgetProcessor
    
    Process the given widget. Called after a widget has been built by the WidgetBuilder, and before it is added to the Layout.
    
    Specified by:
    
    processWidget in interface WidgetProcessor<JComponent,SwingMetawidget>
    
    Parameters:
    component - the widget to process. Never null
    elementName - XML node name of the business field. Typically 'entity', 'property' or 'action'. Never null
    attributes - attributes of the widget to process. Never null. This Map is modifiable - changes will be passed to subsequent WidgetProcessors and Layouts
    metawidget - the parent Metawidget. Never null
    
    Returns:
    generally the original widget (as passed in to the first argument). Can be a different widget if the WidgetProcessor wishes to substitute the original widget for another. Can be null if the WidgetProcessor wishes to cancel all further processing of this widget (including laying out)
