Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`ElementDescriptor.ConstraintFinder`	`findConstraints()` Returns a finder that will always return an empty `Set`.
`Set<ConstraintDescriptor<?>>`	`getConstraintDescriptors()` Returns an empty `Set`.
`CrossParameterDescriptor`	`getCrossParameterDescriptor()` Returns a descriptor containing the cross-parameter constraints of this executable.
`String`	`getName()` Returns the method name in case this descriptor represents a method or the non-qualified name of the declaring class in case this descriptor represents a constructor.
`List<ParameterDescriptor>`	`getParameterDescriptors()` Returns a list of descriptors representing this executable's parameters, in the order of their declaration, including synthetic parameters.
`ReturnValueDescriptor`	`getReturnValueDescriptor()` Returns a descriptor for this executable's return value.
`boolean`	`hasConstrainedParameters()` Returns `true` if the executable parameters are constrained either: because of a constraint on at least one of the parameters because of a cascade on at least one of the parameters (via `Valid`) because of at least one cross-parameter constraint Also returns `false` if there is no parameter.
`boolean`	`hasConstrainedReturnValue()` Returns `true` if the executable return value is constrained either: because of a constraint on the return value because validation is cascaded on the return value (via `Valid`) Also returns `false` if there is no return value.
`boolean`	`hasConstraints()` Returns `false`.

Methods inherited from interface javax.validation.metadata.ElementDescriptor
getElementClass

- Method Detail
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Returns the method name in case this descriptor represents a method or the non-qualified name of the declaring class in case this descriptor represents a constructor.
    
    Returns:
    
    the name of the executable represented by this descriptor
  - getParameterDescriptors
```
List<ParameterDescriptor> getParameterDescriptors()
```
    Returns a list of descriptors representing this executable's parameters, in the order of their declaration, including synthetic parameters.
    
    Returns:
    
    a list of descriptors representing this executable's parameters; an empty list will be returned if this executable has no parameters, but never null
  - getCrossParameterDescriptor
```
CrossParameterDescriptor getCrossParameterDescriptor()
```
    Returns a descriptor containing the cross-parameter constraints of this executable.
    
    Returns:
    
    a descriptor containing the cross-parameter constraints of this executable
  - getReturnValueDescriptor
```
ReturnValueDescriptor getReturnValueDescriptor()
```
    Returns a descriptor for this executable's return value.
    An executable without return value will return a descriptor representing void. This descriptor will have no constraint associated.
    
    Returns:
    
    a descriptor for this executable's return value
  - hasConstrainedParameters
```
boolean hasConstrainedParameters()
```
    Returns true if the executable parameters are constrained either:
    - because of a constraint on at least one of the parameters
    - because of a cascade on at least one of the parameters (via Valid)
    - because of at least one cross-parameter constraint
    Also returns false if there is no parameter.
    Returns:
    
    true if the executable parameters are constrained
  - hasConstrainedReturnValue
```
boolean hasConstrainedReturnValue()
```
    Returns true if the executable return value is constrained either:
    - because of a constraint on the return value
    - because validation is cascaded on the return value (via Valid)
    Also returns false if there is no return value.
    Returns:
    
    true if the executable return value is constrained
  - hasConstraints
```
boolean hasConstraints()
```
    Returns false.
    An executable per se does not host constraints, use getParameterDescriptors(), getCrossParameterDescriptor() and getReturnValueDescriptor() to discover constraints.
    
    Specified by:
    
    hasConstraints in interface ElementDescriptor
    
    Returns:
    
    false
  - getConstraintDescriptors
```
Set<ConstraintDescriptor<?>> getConstraintDescriptors()
```
    Returns an empty Set.
    An executable per se does not host constraints, use getParameterDescriptors(), getCrossParameterDescriptor() and getReturnValueDescriptor() to discover constraints.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getConstraintDescriptors in interface ElementDescriptor
    
    Returns:
    
    an empty Set
  - findConstraints
```
ElementDescriptor.ConstraintFinder findConstraints()
```
    Returns a finder that will always return an empty Set.
    An executable per se does not host constraints, use getParameterDescriptors(), getCrossParameterDescriptor() and getReturnValueDescriptor() to discover constraints.
    
    Specified by:
    
    findConstraints in interface ElementDescriptor
    
    Returns:
    
    ConstraintFinder object
