Interface Summary

BeanMetaData<T>

Interface defining the meta data about the constraints defined in a given bean.

Class Summary

AggregatedMethodMetaData	An aggregated view of the constraint related meta data for a given method and all the methods in the inheritance hierarchy which it overrides or implements.
AggregatedMethodMetaData.Builder	Creates new AggregatedMethodMetaData instances.
AnnotationIgnores	This class instantiated during the parsing of the XML configuration data and keeps track of the annotations which should be ignored.
BeanDescriptorImpl<T>
BeanMetaConstraint<A extends Annotation>	A MetaConstraint implementation that represents a field, property-level or class level constraint and allows the unified handling of these constraints.
BeanMetaDataCache	Cache for created instances of BeanMetaData.
BeanMetaDataImpl<T>	This class encapsulates all meta data needed for validation.
ConstraintDescriptorImpl<T extends Annotation>	Describe a single constraint (including it's composing constraints).
ConstraintHelper	Keeps track of builtin constraints and their validator implementations, as well as already resolved validator definitions.
ElementDescriptorImpl	Describes a validated element (class, field or property).
MetaConstraint<A extends Annotation>	Instances of this class abstract the constraint type (class, method or field constraint) and give access to meta data about the constraint.
MethodDescriptorImpl
MethodMetaConstraint<A extends Annotation>	A MetaConstraint implementation that represents a method parameter or return value constraint.
MethodMetaData	Represents a method of a Java type and all its associated meta-data relevant in the context of bean validation, for instance the constraints at it's parameters or return value.
ParameterDescriptorImpl
ParameterMetaData	Contains constraint-related meta-data for one method parameter.
PropertyDescriptorImpl	Describes a validated element (class, field or property).
