Stateless Parameter Validation

The stateless parameter validation object checks the input parameters to API calls for validity. This layer performs the following tasks:

  • validation of structures; structures are recursed if necessary
  • validation of enumerated type values
  • null pointer conditions
  • stateless valid usage checks
  • checks requiring only static state such as properties or limits

The Stateless Validation is run before Core Validation Checks. If there is a validation error found in Stateless Validation, it will return and not call Core Validation nor call down the layer chain.
