PropertyConstraintMappingContext property(String property,
                                          ElementType type)
```
    Deprecated.
    Since 6.1. Planned for removal. Use either field(String) or getter(String) instead.
    
    Selects a property to which the next operations shall apply.
    Until this method is called constraints apply on class level. After calling this method constraints apply on the specified property with the given access type.
    A given property may only be configured once.
    
    Parameters:
    
    property - The property on which to apply the following constraints (Java Bean notation).
    
    type - The access type (field/property).
    
    Returns:
    
    A creational context representing the selected property.
  - field
```
PropertyConstraintMappingContext field(String property)
```
    Selects a field to which the next operations shall apply.
    Until this method is called constraints apply on class level. After calling this method constraints apply on the specified field property.
    A given field may only be configured once.
    
    Parameters:
    
    property - The field name that represents a property on which to apply the following constraints.
    
    Returns:
    
    A creational context representing the selected field property.
  - getter
```
PropertyConstraintMappingContext getter(String property)
```
    Selects a getter to which the next operations shall apply.
    Until this method is called constraints apply on class level. After calling this method constraints apply on the specified getter property.
    A given getter may only be configured once.
    
    Parameters:
    
    property - The getter property name (using the Java Bean notation, e.g. name to address getName()) that represents a property on which to apply the following constraints.
    
    Returns:
    
    A creational context representing the selected getter property.
