Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
public default < the type of the object to return T> T	Returns: a validator instance of the specified type; `null` if there isn't a nested validator; an exception may be raised if the specified validator type does not match. unwrap(Class<T> the class of the object to return type) Return a contained validator instance of the specified type, unwrapping as far as necessary.
public void	validate(Object the object that is to be validated target, Errors contextual state about the validation process errors, Object... one or more hint objects to be passed to the validation engine validationHints) Validate the supplied `target` object, which must be of a type of `Class` for which the `supports(Class)` method typically returns `true`.
public default void	validateValue(Class<?> the target type targetType, String the name of the field fieldName, Object the candidate value value, Errors contextual state about the validation process errors, Object... one or more hint objects to be passed to the validation engine validationHints) Validate the supplied value for the specified field on the target type, reporting the same validation errors as if the value would be bound to the field on an instance of the target class.

validate back to summary

validate	back to summary
public void validate(Object target, Errors errors, Object... validationHints) Validate the supplied `target` object, which must be of a type of `Class` for which the `supports(Class)` method typically returns `true`. The supplied `errors` instance can be used to report any resulting validation errors. This variant of `validate()` supports validation hints, such as validation groups against a JSR-303 provider (in which case, the provided hint objects need to be annotation arguments of type `Class`). Note Validation hints may get ignored by the actual target `Validator`, in which case this method should behave just like its regular `validate(Object, Errors)` sibling. Parameters target:Object the object that is to be validated errors:Errors contextual state about the validation process validationHints:Object[] one or more hint objects to be passed to the validation engine See Also `jakarta.validation.Validator#validate(Object, Class[])`

public void validate(Object target, Errors errors, Object... validationHints)

Validate the supplied target object, which must be of a type of Class for which the supports(Class) method typically returns true.

The supplied errors instance can be used to report any resulting validation errors.

This variant of validate() supports validation hints, such as validation groups against a JSR-303 provider (in which case, the provided hint objects need to be annotation arguments of type Class).

Note

Validation hints may get ignored by the actual target Validator, in which case this method should behave just like its regular validate(Object, Errors) sibling.

Parameters

target:Object: the object that is to be validated
errors:Errors: contextual state about the validation process
validationHints:Object[]: one or more hint objects to be passed to the validation engine

validateValue back to summary

validateValue	back to summary
public default void validateValue(Class<?> targetType, String fieldName, Object value, Errors errors, Object... validationHints) Validate the supplied value for the specified field on the target type, reporting the same validation errors as if the value would be bound to the field on an instance of the target class. Parameters targetType:Class<?> the target type fieldName:String the name of the field value:Object the candidate value errors:Errors contextual state about the validation process validationHints:Object[] one or more hint objects to be passed to the validation engine Since 5.1 See Also `jakarta.validation.Validator#validateValue(Class, String, Object, Class[])`

public default void validateValue(Class<?> targetType, String fieldName, Object value, Errors errors, Object... validationHints)

Validate the supplied value for the specified field on the target type, reporting the same validation errors as if the value would be bound to the field on an instance of the target class.

Parameters

targetType:Class<?>: the target type
fieldName:String: the name of the field
value:Object: the candidate value
errors:Errors: contextual state about the validation process
validationHints:Object[]: one or more hint objects to be passed to the validation engine
