acceptable class for the container.NameDuplicationException - If the name coincides with
a parameter already in the container.public java.util.Collection validate()
throws IllegalActionException
If this variable is lazy, then mark this variable and any of its value dependents as needing evaluation and for any value dependents that are not lazy, evaluate them. Note that if there are no value dependents, or if they are all lazy, then this will not result in evaluation of this variable, and hence will not ensure that the expression giving its value is valid. Call getToken() or getType() to accomplish that.
This method differs from its base class implementation in that if its string value is not empty, then it also attempts to set the name of its container to the string value.
validate in interface Settablevalidate in class VariableIllegalActionException - If this variable or a
variable dependent on this variable cannot be evaluated (and is
not lazy) and the model error handler throws an exception.
Also thrown if the change is not acceptable to the container.
Also thrown if there is a NameDuplicationException when setting
the name of the container.
