Method Detail

getDefaultResourceBundleLocator

ResourceBundleLocator getDefaultResourceBundleLocator()

Returns the ResourceBundleLocator used by the default message interpolator to load user-provided resource bundles. In conformance with the specification this default locator retrieves the bundle "ValidationMessages".

This locator can be used as delegate for custom locators when setting a customized ResourceBundleMessageInterpolator:

 HibernateValidatorConfiguration configure =
    Validation.byProvider(HibernateValidator.class).configure();
 <p/>
  ResourceBundleLocator defaultResourceBundleLocator =
    configure.getDefaultResourceBundleLocator();
  ResourceBundleLocator myResourceBundleLocator =
    new MyResourceBundleLocator(defaultResourceBundleLocator);
 <p/>
  configure.messageInterpolator(
    new ResourceBundleMessageInterpolator(myResourceBundleLocator));
 
 

Returns:

The default ResourceBundleLocator. Never null.

addMapping

HibernateValidatorConfiguration addMapping(ConstraintMapping mapping)

Adds the specified ConstraintMapping instance to the configuration. Constraints configured in mapping will be added to the constraints configured via annotations and/or xml.

Parameters:

mapping - ConstraintMapping instance containing programmatic configured constraints

Returns:

this following the chaining method pattern

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if mapping is null
