Class ValidationConstraint

org.resthub.web.validation.ValidationConstraint

public class ValidationConstraint
extends Object

Object representation of validation constraints. Instances of this class can be easily serialized in JSON or XML format thanks to dedicated Jackson configuration.

Sample JSON serialization:

          "lastName": [{
              "type": "NotBlank",
              "message": "may not be empty"
          }],
          "email": [{
              "type": "NotNull",
              "message": "may not be null"
           }, {
              "type": "Email",
              "message": "not a well-formed email address",
              "flags": [],
              "regexp": ".*"
          }],
 

Sample XML serialization:

          < lastName>
              < type>NotBlank
              < message>may not be empty
          < /lastName>
          < email>
              < type>NotNull
              < message>may not be null
          < /email>
          < email>
              < type>Email
              < message>not a well-formed email address
              < regexp>.*
          < /email>
