- Method Detail
  - 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.
  - getDefaultValueExtractors
```
@Incubating
Set<ValueExtractor<?>> getDefaultValueExtractors()
```
    Returns the default ValueExtractor implementations as per the specification.
    
    Returns:

    Since:
    
    6.0
  - 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
  - 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
  - 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 380 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 380 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 380 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
  - enableTraversableResolverResultCache
```
HibernateValidatorConfiguration enableTraversableResolverResultCache(boolean enabled)
```
    Define whether the per validation call caching of TraversableResolver results is enabled. The default value is true, i.e. the caching is enabled.
    This behavior was initially introduced to cache the JPATraversableResolver results but the map lookups it introduces can be counterproductive when the TraversableResolver calls are very fast.
    
    Parameters:
    
    enabled - flag determining whether per validation call caching is enabled for TraversableResolver results.
    
    Returns:
    
    this following the chaining method pattern
    
    Since:
    
    6.0.3
  - scriptEvaluatorFactory
```
@Incubating
HibernateValidatorConfiguration scriptEvaluatorFactory(ScriptEvaluatorFactory scriptEvaluatorFactory)

    Returns:
    
    this following the chaining method pattern

    6.0.3
  - temporalValidationTolerance
```
@Incubating

    temporalValidationTolerance - the acceptable tolerance
    
    Returns:
    
    this following the chaining method pattern
    
    Since:
    
    6.0.5
  - constraintValidatorPayload
```
@Incubating
HibernateValidatorConfiguration constraintValidatorPayload(Object constraintValidatorPayload)
```
    Allows to set a payload which will be passed to the constraint validators. If the method is called multiple times, only the payload passed last will be propagated.
    
    Parameters:
    
    constraintValidatorPayload - the payload passed to constraint validators
    
    Returns:
    
    this following the chaining method pattern

HibernateValidatorConfiguration beanMetaDataClassNormalizer(BeanMetaDataClassNormalizer beanMetaDataClassNormalizer)
```
    Allows to set a BeanMetaDataClassNormalizer that will be used to normalize the class before accessing the metadata.
