    Validates the given value against the given dataType.
    The supplied dataType must be a valid QName prefixed string so it can be resolved into a fully qualified name data type registered in the DataTypeDefinition.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dataType - the target prefixed data type (e.g. d:int) which the string value should be converted to
    
    value - non-empty string value
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidQNameException - if the dataType is not a valid QName prefixed string (prefix:type )
    
    NamespaceException - if the prefix of the given dataType is not mapped to a namespace URI
    
    AlfrescoRuntimeException - if the given value cannot be converted into the given data type, or the data type is unknown
