Package org.hibernate.validator.internal.metadata.aggregated

Class PropertyMetaData

java.lang.Object
org.hibernate.validator.internal.metadata.aggregated.AbstractConstraintMetaData
org.hibernate.validator.internal.metadata.aggregated.PropertyMetaData
All Implemented Interfaces:
Iterable<MetaConstraint<?>>, ConstraintMetaData
public class PropertyMetaData extends AbstractConstraintMetaData
Represents the constraint related meta data for a JavaBeans property. Abstracts from the concrete physical type of the underlying Java element(s) (fields or getter methods).

In order to provide a unified access to all JavaBeans constraints also class-level constraints are represented by this meta data type.

Identity is solely based on the property name, hence sets and similar collections of this type may only be created in the scope of one Java type.

  • Method Details

    • asDescriptor

      public PropertyDescriptorImpl asDescriptor(boolean defaultGroupSequenceRedefined, List<Class<?>> defaultGroupSequence)
      Description copied from interface: ConstraintMetaData
      Returns this meta data object's corresponding representation in the descriptor model.
      Parameters:
      defaultGroupSequenceRedefined - Whether the bean hosting the represented element has a redefined default group sequence or not.
      defaultGroupSequence - The default group sequence of the bean hosting the represented element.
      Returns:
      This meta data object's corresponding descriptor model representation. Implementations should return a specific sub type of ElementDescriptor.

    • getCascadables

      public Set<Cascadable> getCascadables()
      Returns the cascadables of this property, if any. Often, there will be just a single element returned. Several elements may be returned in the following cases:
      • a property's field has been marked with @Valid but type-level constraints have been given on the getter
      • one type parameter of a property has been marked with @Valid on the field (e.g. a map's key) but another type parameter has been marked with @Valid on the property (e.g. the map's value)
      • a (shaded) private field in a super-type and another field of the same name in a sub-type are both marked with @Valid

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Overrides:
      toString in class AbstractConstraintMetaData

    • getKind

      public ElementKind getKind()
      Description copied from interface: ConstraintMetaData
      Returns the kind of this meta data object.
      Returns:
      The kind of this meta data object.

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class AbstractConstraintMetaData

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object obj)
      Overrides:
      equals in class AbstractConstraintMetaData
