        void validateValue​(java.lang.String dataType,
                   java.lang.String value)
            throws org.alfresco.service.namespace.InvalidQNameException,

        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:
        org.alfresco.service.namespace.InvalidQNameException - if the dataType is not a valid QName prefixed string (prefix:type )
        org.alfresco.service.namespace.NamespaceException - if the prefix of the given dataType is not mapped to a namespace URI
        org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException - if the given value cannot be converted into the given data type, or the data type is unknown
