All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<MetaConstraint<?>>, ConstraintMetaData

public class PropertyMetaData
extends AbstractConstraintMetaData

Represents the constraint related meta data for a JavaBeans property. Abstracts from the concrete physical type of the underlying Java element(s) (fields or getter methods).

In order to provide a unified access to all JavaBeans constraints also class-level constraints are represented by this meta data type.

Identity is solely based on the property name, hence sets and similar collections of this type may only be created in the scope of one Java type.

asDescriptor

public PropertyDescriptorImpl asDescriptor(boolean defaultGroupSequenceRedefined,
                                           List<Class<?>> defaultGroupSequence)

Description copied from interface: ConstraintMetaData

Returns this meta data object's corresponding representation in the descriptor model.

Parameters:

defaultGroupSequenceRedefined - Whether the bean hosting the represented element has a redefined default group sequence or not.

defaultGroupSequence - The default group sequence of the bean hosting the represented element.

Returns:

This meta data object's corresponding descriptor model representation. Implementations should return a specific sub type of ElementDescriptor.
