ArgumentAssertion (Silverpeas Core 6.3 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.silverpeas.core.util.ArgumentAssertion

```
public final class ArgumentAssertion
extends Object
```
ArgumentAssertion gathers all of the assertion operations that can be used for for checking the arguments specified in method call are correct. If an assertion failed, then an IllegalArgumentException is thrown. Using a such class to check the arguments before any code execution in a method ensures at the beginning the published contract of a method is well satisfied. It permits to detect in an explicit way the violation of that contract and thus to fix it in a fast way. Without any argument checking, the violation detection could be done in a more or less deep stacktrace execution of the method and in an implicit way, so letting it difficult to identify and to fix it.
