Method Detail

messageInterpolator

HibernateValidatorContext messageInterpolator(MessageInterpolator messageInterpolator)

Description copied from interface: ValidatorContext

Defines the message interpolator implementation used by the Validator.

If not set or if null is passed as a parameter, the message interpolator of the ValidatorFactory is used.

Specified by:

messageInterpolator in interface ValidatorContext

Parameters:

messageInterpolator - the MessageInterpolator used by the Validator

Returns:

self following the chaining method pattern

traversableResolver

HibernateValidatorContext traversableResolver(TraversableResolver traversableResolver)

Description copied from interface: ValidatorContext

Defines the traversable resolver implementation used by the Validator.

If not set or if null is passed as a parameter, the traversable resolver of the ValidatorFactory is used.

Specified by:

traversableResolver in interface ValidatorContext

Parameters:

traversableResolver - the TraversableResolver used by the Validator

Returns:

self following the chaining method pattern

constraintValidatorFactory

HibernateValidatorContext constraintValidatorFactory(ConstraintValidatorFactory factory)

Description copied from interface: ValidatorContext

Defines the constraint validator factory implementation used by the Validator. If not set or if null is passed as a parameter, the constraint validator factory of the ValidatorFactory is used.

Specified by:

constraintValidatorFactory in interface ValidatorContext

Parameters:

factory - the ConstraintValidatorFactory used by the Validator

Returns:

self following the chaining method pattern

parameterNameProvider

HibernateValidatorContext parameterNameProvider(ParameterNameProvider parameterNameProvider)

Description copied from interface: ValidatorContext

Defines the parameter name provider implementation used by the Validator. If not set or if null is passed as a parameter, the parameter name provider of the ValidatorFactory is used.

Specified by:

parameterNameProvider in interface ValidatorContext

Parameters:

parameterNameProvider - parameter name provider implementation.

Returns:

self following the chaining method pattern

Since:

5.2

failFast

HibernateValidatorContext failFast(boolean failFast)

En- or disables the fail fast mode. When fail fast is enabled the validation will stop on the first constraint violation detected.

Parameters:

failFast - true to enable fail fast, false otherwise.

Returns:

this following the chaining method pattern

addValidationValueHandler

HibernateValidatorContext addValidationValueHandler(ValidatedValueUnwrapper<?> handler)

Registers the given validated value unwrapper with the bootstrapped validator. When validating an element which is of a type supported by the unwrapper and which is annotated with UnwrapValidatedValue, the unwrapper will be applied to retrieve the value to validate.

Parameters:

handler - the unwrapper to register

Returns:

this following the chaining method pattern

timeProvider

HibernateValidatorContext timeProvider(TimeProvider timeProvider)

Registers the given time provider with the bootstrapped validator. This provider will be used to obtain the current time when validating @Future and @Past constraints. If not set or if null is passed as a parameter, the time provider of the ValidatorFactory is used.

Parameters:

timeProvider - the time provider to register.

Returns:

this following the chaining method pattern

Since:
