      void validateValue(String dataType, String value) throws InvalidQNameException, NamespaceException, org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException
      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
      org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException - if the given value cannot be converted into the given data type, or the data type is unknown
