public Interface Cascadable

Known Direct Implementers: org.hibernate.validator.internal.metadata.aggregated.AbstractPropertyCascadable, org.hibernate.validator.internal.metadata.aggregated.ParameterMetaData, org.hibernate.validator.internal.metadata.aggregated.ReturnValueMetaData
Imports: java.lang.reflect.Type, org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.path.PathImpl, org.hibernate.validator.internal.metadata.aggregated.CascadingMetaData, .CascadingMetaDataBuilder, org.hibernate.validator.internal.metadata.location.ConstraintLocation.ConstraintLocationKind

Provides a unified view on cascadable elements of all kinds, be it properties of a Java bean, the arguments passed to an executable or the value returned from an executable. Allows a unified handling of these elements in the validation routine.
