 <h1 class="id_title">Validating code in enterprise applications</h1>


 <div class="id_taskbody"><p class="id_shortdesc">The workbench includes validators that
 check certain files in your enterprise application module projects for errors.</p>

 <div class="id_context"> <p class="anchor_topictop">By default, the workbench validates
 your files automatically after any build, including automatic builds. You
 can also begin the validation process manually without building.</p>
 <p>On
 the workbench Properties window, you can enable or disable validators to be
 used on your projects. Also, you can enable or disable validators for each
 enterprise application module project individually on the Properties page
 for that project.</p>
 <p>Each validator can apply to certain types of files,
 certain project natures, and certain project facets. When a validator applies
 to a project facet or nature, the workbench uses that validator only on projects
 that have that facet or nature. Likewise, most validators apply only to certain
 types of files, so the workbench uses those validators only on those types
 of files.</p>
 <p>Follow these steps to validate your files:</p>
 </div>

 <ol class="id_steps">
 <li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Window</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Preferences</span>
 </span>.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Preferences window, click <span class="uicontrol">Validation</span> in
 the left pane.</span> The Validation page of the Preferences window
 lists the validators available in your project and their settings.
 </li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>If you want to set individual validation settings for one or more
 of your projects, select the <span class="uicontrol">Allow projects to override these preference
 settings</span> check box.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>To prevent validation at the global level, select the <span class="uicontrol">Suspend
 all validators</span> check box.</span> If you select this check
 box, you can still enable validation at the project level.</li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>If you want to save any resources you have modified before the
 validation begins, select the <span class="uicontrol">Save all modified resources automatically
 prior to validating</span> check box.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the list of validators, select the check boxes next to each
 validator you want to use at the global level.</span> Each validator has
 a check box to specify whether it is used on manual validation or on build
 validation.</li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>Choose an alternate implementation for a validator by clicking
 the button in the <span class="uicontrol">Settings</span> column.</span> Not all
 validators have alternate implementations.</li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span>.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>If you want to set individual validation settings for one or more
 of your projects, see <a href="tjvalglobalpref.html" title="For a given project, you can override&#10;the global validation preferences.">Overriding global validation preferences</a>.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>Begin the validation process by one of the following methods:</span>
 <ul>
 <li>Right-click a project and click <span class="uicontrol">Run Validation</span>.</li>

 <li>Start a build.</li>

 </ul>

 </li>
