Method Detail

getValidatorClass

Class<? extends ConstraintValidator<A,?>> getValidatorClass()

The implementation type of the represented validator.

getValidationTargets

EnumSet<ValidationTarget> getValidationTargets()

The targets supported for validation by the represented validator.

getValidatedType

Type getValidatedType()

The data type validated by the represented validator (not the constraint annotation type).

newInstance

ConstraintValidator<A,?> newInstance(ConstraintValidatorFactory constraintValidatorFactory)

Creates a new instance of the represented implementation type.
