Interface ValidationService

All Known Implementing Classes:

ValidationServiceImpl

public interface ValidationService

Provides service methods to export validation constraints configured on a given model object. This interface is validation provider agnostic and could be implemented to support any kind of validation constraint API

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
ModelConstraint	getConstraintsForClass(Class<?> clazz) Find validation constraints for a model class and return their representation
ModelConstraint	getConstraintsForClass(Class<?> clazz, Locale locale) Find validation constraints for a model class and return their representation.
ModelConstraint	getConstraintsForClassName(String canonicalClassName) Find validation constraints for a model class name and return their representation
ModelConstraint	getConstraintsForClassName(String canonicalClassName, Locale locale) Find validation constraints for a model class name and return their representation.

Method Detail

getConstraintsForClassName

ModelConstraint getConstraintsForClassName(String canonicalClassName)
                                           throws ClassNotFoundException

Find validation constraints for a model class name and return their representation

Parameters:

canonicalClassName - complete class name of the model to find

Returns:

a ModelConstraint wrapper containing all validation constraints retrieved for the given canonicalClassName

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if canonicalClassName does not match any class

getConstraintsForClassName

ModelConstraint getConstraintsForClassName(String canonicalClassName,
                                         Locale locale)
                                           throws ClassNotFoundException

Find validation constraints for a model class name and return their representation. This method also enhances constraints with concrete resolved constraint error message depending on the given locale

Parameters:

canonicalClassName - complete class name of the model to find

locale - Locale object used to resolve localized messages, if any

Returns:

a ModelConstraint wrapper containing all validation constraints retrieved for the given canonicalClassName

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if canonicalClassName does not match any class

getConstraintsForClass

ModelConstraint getConstraintsForClass(Class<?> clazz)

Find validation constraints for a model class and return their representation

Parameters:

clazz - class of the model to find

Returns:

a ModelConstraint wrapper containing all validation constraints retrieved for the given clazz

getConstraintsForClass

ModelConstraint getConstraintsForClass(Class<?> clazz,
                                     Locale locale)

Find validation constraints for a model class and return their representation. This method also enhances constraints with concrete resolved constraint error message depending on the given locale

Parameters:

clazz - class of the model to find

locale - Locale object used to resolve localized messages, if any

Returns:

a ModelConstraint wrapper containing all validation constraints retrieved for the given clazz
