Class<?>	getBeanClass() Returns the class on which the constraint is defined.
ElementType	getElementType() Returns the ElementType on which the constraint is defined.
Member	getMember() Returns the member the constraint is defined on.
Type	typeOfAnnotatedElement() Returns the type of the element at this constraint location.
