public class TextArrayPropertyValidator
extends PropertyValidator

Class for validating array of text strings property types.

The string representation of the array is a semicolon-separated list. When converting from string, empty strings are ignored, and all strings (both input and output) are trimmed.

For example, the following string: " asdf, asdf ; foo ;bar ; ; end of list,:& " will be converted to the following array:

• "asdf, asdf"
• "foo"
• "bar"
• "end of list,:&"
