Description copied from class: FormValidator

Validates multiple fields together. Note, implementations need not call the validator for each field if that field also has a field level validator (since each field is individually validated by the form). Implementations should validate multiple fields to see if they make sense when analysed as a whole.

Important notes: Typically, validation should be skipped in the following circumstances:

• The field is disabled.
• The field is an instance of DependentField and the
  invalid reference

  DependentField#shouldValidate

  method returns false.

Specified by:

validate in class FormValidator

Returns:

true is validation succeeded, false otherwise
