Method Detail

initializeback to summary
public default void initialize(ConstraintDescriptor<A> constraintDescriptor, HibernateConstraintValidatorInitializationContext initializationContext)

Initializes the validator in preparation for isValid(Object, ConstraintValidatorContext) calls. It is an alternative to initialize(Annotation) method. Should be used if any additional information except annotation is needed to initialize a validator. Note, when using HibernateConstraintValidator user should only override one of the methods, either initialize(ConstraintDescriptor, HibernateConstraintValidatorInitializationContext) or initialize(Annotation). Both methods will be called during initialization, starting with initialize(ConstraintDescriptor, HibernateConstraintValidatorInitializationContext).

Parameters
constraintDescriptor:ConstraintDescriptor<A>

a constraint descriptor for a given constraint declaration

initializationContext:HibernateConstraintValidatorInitializationContext

an initialization context for a current ConstraintValidatorFactory
