Parameters:

entity - Entity DTO of the entity attempting to save

instance - actual object representation of entity. This can be cast to entity interfaces (like Sku or Product)

entityFieldMetadata - complete field metadata for all properties in entity

validationConfiguration - the map represented by the set of ConfigurationItem for a ValidationConfiguration on a property. This map could be null if this PropertyValidator is being invoked outside of the context of a particular property (like a global validator)

propertyMetadata - BasicFieldMetadata corresponding to the property that is being valid

propertyName - the property name of the value attempting to be saved (could be a sub-entity obtained via dot notation like 'defaultSku.name')

value - the value attempted to be saved

Returns:

true if this passes validation, false otherwise.
