  - getDefaultResourceBundleLocator
```
ResourceBundleLocator getDefaultResourceBundleLocator()
```
    Returns the ResourceBundleLocator used by the default message interpolator to load user-provided resource bundles. In conformance with the specification this default locator retrieves the bundle "ValidationMessages".
    
    This locator can be used as delegate for custom locators when setting a customized ResourceBundleMessageInterpolator:
```
 
 	HibernateValidatorConfiguration configure =
    Validation.byProvider(HibernateValidator.class).configure();

  ResourceBundleLocator defaultResourceBundleLocator =
    configure.getDefaultBundleLocator();
  ResourceBundleLocator myResourceBundleLocator =
    new MyResourceBundleLocator(defaultResourceBundleLocator);

  configure.messageInterpolator(
    new ResourceBundleMessageInterpolator(myResourceBundleLocator));
 
 
```
    Returns:
    
    The default ResourceBundleLocator. Never null.
  - createConstraintMapping
```
ConstraintMapping createConstraintMapping()
```
    Creates a new constraint mapping which can be used to programmatically configure the constraints for given types. After the mapping has been set up, it must be added to this configuration via addMapping(ConstraintMapping).
    
    Returns:
    
    A new constraint mapping.
  - addMapping
```
HibernateValidatorConfiguration addMapping(ConstraintMapping mapping)
```
    Adds the specified ConstraintMapping instance to the configuration. Constraints configured in mapping will be added to the constraints configured via annotations and/or xml.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mapping - ConstraintMapping instance containing programmatic configured constraints
    
    Returns:
    
    this following the chaining method pattern
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if mapping is null
  - failFast
```
HibernateValidatorConfiguration 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
  - addValidatedValueHandler
```
HibernateValidatorConfiguration addValidatedValueHandler(ValidatedValueUnwrapper<?> handler)
```
    Registers the given validated value unwrapper with the bootstrapped validator factory. 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
  - externalClassLoader
```
HibernateValidatorConfiguration externalClassLoader(ClassLoader externalClassLoader)
```
    Sets the class loader to be used for loading user-provided resources:
    - XML descriptors (META-INF/validation.xml as well as XML constraint mappings)
    - classes specified by name in XML descriptors (e.g. custom message interpolators etc.)
    - the ValidationMessages resource bundle
    If no class loader is given, these resources will be obtained through the thread context class loader and as a last fallback through Hibernate Validator's own class loader.
    Parameters:
    
    externalClassLoader - The class loader for loading user-provided resources.
    
    Returns:
    
    this following the chaining method pattern
    
    Since:
    
    5.2
  - timeProvider
```
HibernateValidatorConfiguration timeProvider(TimeProvider timeProvider)
```
    Registers the given time provider with the bootstrapped validator factory. This provider will be used to obtain the current time when validating @Future and @Past constraints. By default the current system time and the current default time zone will be used when validating these constraints.
    
    Parameters:
    
    timeProvider - the time provider to register. Must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    this following the chaining method pattern
    
    Since:
    
    5.2
  - allowOverridingMethodAlterParameterConstraint
```
HibernateValidatorConfiguration allowOverridingMethodAlterParameterConstraint(boolean allow)
```
    Define whether overriding methods that override constraints should throw a ConstraintDefinitionException. The default value is false, i.e. do not allow.
    See Section 4.5.5 of the JSR 349 specification, specifically
```
 "In sub types (be it sub classes/interfaces or interface implementations), no parameter constraints may
 be declared on overridden or implemented methods, nor may parameters be marked for cascaded validation.
 This would pose a strengthening of preconditions to be fulfilled by the caller."
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    allow - flag determining whether validation will allow overriding to alter parameter constraints.
    
    Returns:
    
    this following the chaining method pattern
    
    Since:
    
    5.3
  - allowMultipleCascadedValidationOnReturnValues
```
HibernateValidatorConfiguration allowMultipleCascadedValidationOnReturnValues(boolean allow)
```
    Define whether more than one constraint on a return value may be marked for cascading validation are allowed. The default value is false, i.e. do not allow.
    See Section 4.5.5 of the JSR 349 specification, specifically
```
 "One must not mark a method return value for cascaded validation more than once in a line of a class hierarchy.
 In other words, overriding methods on sub types (be it sub classes/interfaces or interface implementations)
 cannot mark the return value for cascaded validation if the return value has already been marked on the
 overridden method of the super type or interface."
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    allow - flag determining whether validation will allow multiple cascaded validation on return values.
    
    Returns:
    
    this following the chaining method pattern
    
    Since:
    
    5.3
  - allowParallelMethodsDefineParameterConstraints
```
HibernateValidatorConfiguration allowParallelMethodsDefineParameterConstraints(boolean allow)
```
    Define whether parallel methods that define constraints should throw a ConstraintDefinitionException. The default value is false, i.e. do not allow.
    See Section 4.5.5 of the JSR 349 specification, specifically
```
 "If a sub type overrides/implements a method originally defined in several parallel types of the hierarchy
 (e.g. two interfaces not extending each other, or a class and an interface not implemented by said class),
 no parameter constraints may be declared for that method at all nor parameters be marked for cascaded validation.
 This again is to avoid an unexpected strengthening of preconditions to be fulfilled by the caller."
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    allow - flag determining whether validation will allow parameter constraints in parallel hierarchies
    
    Returns:
    
    this following the chaining method pattern
    
    Since:
    
    5.3
