Interface ConstraintValidator<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation,T>
-
public interface ConstraintValidator<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation,T>Defines the logic to validate a given constraintAfor a given object typeT. Implementations must comply to the following restriction:Tmust resolve to a non parameterized type- or generic parameters of
Tmust be unbounded wildcard types
SupportedValidationTargetcan be put on aConstraintValidatorimplementation to mark it as supporting cross-parameter constraints. Check outSupportedValidationTargetandConstraintfor more information.

Method Detail
-
initialize
void initialize(A constraintAnnotation)
Initializes the validator in preparation forisValid(Object, ConstraintValidatorContext)calls. The constraint annotation for a given constraint declaration is passed. This method is guaranteed to be called before any use of this instance for validation.- Parameters:
constraintAnnotation- annotation instance for a given constraint declaration
-
isValid
boolean isValid(T value, ConstraintValidatorContext context)
Implements the validation logic. The state ofvaluemust not be altered. This method can be accessed concurrently, thread-safety must be ensured by the implementation.- Parameters:
value- object to validatecontext- context in which the constraint is evaluated- Returns:
falseifvaluedoes not pass the constraint
