Class PropertyMetaData

java.lang.Object

org.hibernate.validator.internal.metadata.aggregated.AbstractConstraintMetaData

org.hibernate.validator.internal.metadata.aggregated.PropertyMetaData

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<MetaConstraint<?>>, Cascadable, ConstraintMetaData

public class PropertyMetaData
extends AbstractConstraintMetaData
implements Cascadable

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.

Method Detail

getValue

public Object getValue(Object parent)

Description copied from interface: Cascadable

Retrieves the value of this element from the given object.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Cascadable

Parameters:

parent - The object to retrieve the value from.

Returns:

This element's value.

getElementType

public ElementType getElementType()

Specified by:

getElementType in interface Cascadable

getRawType

public Class<?> getRawType()

convertGroup

public Class<?> convertGroup(Class<?> from)

Description copied from interface: Cascadable

Converts the given validation group as per the group conversion configuration for this element (as e.g. specified via @ConvertGroup.

Specified by:

convertGroup in interface Cascadable

Parameters:

from - The group to convert.

Returns:

The converted group. Will be the original group itself in case no conversion is to be performed.

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.

Specified by:

asDescriptor in interface ConstraintMetaData

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.
