public interface ConstraintValidator<A extends Annotation,T>
A
for a given object type T
.
Implementations must comply to the following restriction:
T
must resolve to a non parameterized typeT
must be unbounded
wildcard typesSupportedValidationTarget
can be put on a
ConstraintValidator
implementation to mark it as supporting
cross-parameter constraints. Check out SupportedValidationTarget
and Constraint
for more information.Modifier and Type | Method and Description |

void |
initialize(A constraintAnnotation)
Initializes the validator in preparation for
isValid(Object, ConstraintValidatorContext) calls. |
boolean |
isValid(T value,
ConstraintValidatorContext context)
Implements the validation logic.

void initialize(A constraintAnnotation)

calls.
The constraint annotation for a given constraint declaration
is passed.
