isValidValue

public static boolean isValidValue(java.lang.Object[] values,
                                   PropertyTypeValidator validator)

This helper method will be used to evaluate any PropertyValues that have a multiplicity of * or be able to have more than one value. We use object arrays because if we used some sort of Collection we would not be able to tell if the Collection was the value or the Collection was the Collection of values for that property as there is a property type of List.

Parameters:

values - the object array of values to be validated

the - validator instance to use to validate the values in the array

Returns:

true if the value is valid for the property type.
