org.hibernate.validator.internal.cdi.ValidationExtension

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Extension

public class ValidationExtension
extends Object
implements javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Extension

A CDI portable extension which integrates Bean Validation with CDI. It registers the following objects:

• Beans for ValidatorFactory and Validator representing default validator factory and validator as configured via META-INF/validation.xml. These beans will have the Default qualifier and in addition the HibernateValidator qualifier if Hibernate Validator is the default validation provider.
• In case Hibernate Validator is not the default provider, another pair of beans will be registered in addition which are qualified with the HibernateValidator qualifier.

Neither of these beans will be registered in case there is already another bean with the same type and qualifier(s), e.g. registered by another portable extension or the application itself.

Method Detail

beforeBeanDiscovery

public void beforeBeanDiscovery(@Observes

                       javax.enterprise.inject.spi.BeanManager beanManager)

Used to register the method validation interceptor binding annotation.

Parameters:

beforeBeanDiscoveryEvent - event fired before the bean discovery process starts

beanManager - the bean manager.

afterBeanDiscovery

public void afterBeanDiscovery(@Observes
                      javax.enterprise.inject.spi.AfterBeanDiscovery afterBeanDiscoveryEvent,
                      javax.enterprise.inject.spi.BeanManager beanManager)

Registers beans for ValidatorFactory and Validator if not yet present.

Parameters:

afterBeanDiscoveryEvent - event fired after the bean discovery phase.

beanManager - the bean manager.

processBean

public void processBean(@Observes
               javax.enterprise.inject.spi.ProcessBean<?> processBeanEvent)

Watches the ProcessBean event in order to determine whether beans for ValidatorFactory and Validator already have been registered by some other component.

Parameters:

processBeanEvent - event fired for each enabled bean.

processAnnotatedType

public <T> void processAnnotatedType(@Observes
                            javax.enterprise.inject.spi.ProcessAnnotatedType<T> processAnnotatedTypeEvent)

Used to register the method validation interceptor bindings.

Parameters:

processAnnotatedTypeEvent - event fired for each annotated type

replaceWithOverriddenOrInterfaceMethod

public Method replaceWithOverriddenOrInterfaceMethod(Method method,
                                            List<Method> allMethodsOfType)
