Method Detail

getValidatorClass

Class<? extends ConstraintValidator<A,?>> getValidatorClass()

getValidatedType

Type getValidatedType()

newInstance

ConstraintValidator<A,?> newInstance(ConstraintValidatorFactory constraintValidatorFactory)

Creates a new instance of the represented implementation type.
