public Interface ConstraintDefinitionContext<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>

extends ConstraintMappingTarget
Known Direct Implementers
org.hibernate.validator.internal.cfg.context.ConstraintDefinitionContextImpl
Type Parameters
<A>
The annotation type represented by this context.
Imports
java.lang.annotation.Annotation, jakarta.validation.ConstraintValidator, org.hibernate.validator.Incubating

Nested and Inner Type Summary

Modifier and TypeClass and Description
public static interface
ConstraintDefinitionContext.ConstraintValidatorDefinitionContext<A extends Annotation, T>

Allows to specify a validation implementation for the given constraint and data type using a Lambda expression or method reference.

public static interface
ConstraintDefinitionContext.ValidationCallable<T>

Callable implementing a validation routine.

Method Summary

Modifier and TypeMethod and Description
public ConstraintDefinitionContext<A>

Returns:

This context for method chaining.
includeExistingValidators(boolean
Whether or not to use already-mapped validators when validating this constraint.
includeExistingValidators)

Specifies whether validators already mapped to this constraint (i.e. defined in the annotation declaration through jakarta.validation.Constraint#validatedBy() or the validation engine defaults) should be included or not.

public ConstraintDefinitionContext<A>

Returns:

This context for method chaining.
validatedBy(Class<? extends ConstraintValidator<A, ?>>
The validator to add.
validator)

Adds a new validator to validate this constraint.

public <T> ConstraintDefinitionContext.ConstraintValidatorDefinitionContext<A, T>

Returns:

This context for method chaining
validateType(Class<T>
The type of the value to validate
type)

Allows to configure a validation implementation using a Lambda expression or method reference.

Method Detail

includeExistingValidatorsback to summary
public ConstraintDefinitionContext<A> includeExistingValidators(boolean includeExistingValidators)

Specifies whether validators already mapped to this constraint (i.e. defined in the annotation declaration through jakarta.validation.Constraint#validatedBy() or the validation engine defaults) should be included or not.

Parameters
includeExistingValidators:boolean

Whether or not to use already-mapped validators when validating this constraint.

Returns:ConstraintDefinitionContext<A>

This context for method chaining.

validatedByback to summary
public ConstraintDefinitionContext<A> validatedBy(Class<? extends ConstraintValidator<A, ?>> validator)

Adds a new validator to validate this constraint.

Parameters
validator:Class<? extends ConstraintValidator<A, ?>>

The validator to add.

Returns:ConstraintDefinitionContext<A>

This context for method chaining.

validateTypeback to summary
public <T> ConstraintDefinitionContext.ConstraintValidatorDefinitionContext<A, T> validateType(Class<T> type)

Allows to configure a validation implementation using a Lambda expression or method reference. Useful for simple validations without the need for accessing constraint properties or customization of error messages etc.

Parameters
type:Class<T>

The type of the value to validate

Returns:ConstraintDefinitionContext.ConstraintValidatorDefinitionContext<A, T>

This context for method chaining
