Package org.hl7.fhir.validation.instance.utils

Class ResourceValidationTracker

  • public class ResourceValidationTracker
extends Object
    The validator keeps one of these classes for each resource it validates (e.g. when chasing references)

    It keeps track of the state of resource validation - a given resrouce may be validated agaisnt multiple profiles during a single validation, and it may be valid against some, and invalid against others.

    We don't want to keep doing the same validation, so we remember the outcomes for each combination of resource + profile

    Additionally, profile validation may be circular - e.g. a Patient profile that applies the same profile to linked patients, and 2 patient resources that link to each other. So this class also tracks validation in process.

    If the validator comes back to the same point, and validates the same instance against the same profile while it's already validating, it assumes it's valid - it cannot have new errors that wouldn't already be found in the first iteration - in other words, there's no errors
