Method Detail

accepts

public boolean accepts(ConstrainedElement constrainedElement)

Whether this builder allows to add the given element or not. This is the case if the specified element relates to the same property or method with which this builder was instantiated.

accepts in class MetaDataBuilder

Parameters:

constrainedElement - The element to check.

Returns:

true if the given element can be added to this builder, false otherwise.

add

public void add(ConstrainedElement constrainedElement)

Adds the given element to this builder. It must be checked with MetaDataBuilder.accepts(ConstrainedElement) before, whether this is allowed or not.

Specified by:

add in class MetaDataBuilder

Parameters:

constrainedElement - The element to add.

build

public MethodMetaData build()

Creates a new, read-only ConstraintMetaData object with all constraint information related to the method or property represented by this builder.

Specified by:

build in class MetaDataBuilder

Returns:

A ConstraintMetaData object.
