public class ReferencePropertyValidator
extends PropertyValidator

Class for validating element reference property types. References to elements are represented instances of Identifiable interface.

The properties of PropertyType.REFERENCE type cannot be deserialized from String, thus methods checkFormat(String) and convert(String), as well as PropertyValidator.isValidClass(Object) and PropertyValidator.convertFromStringFormat(String) throw UnsupportedOperationException.
