Package org.hibernate.validator

Interface Summary

PersistentClassConstraint	Interface implemented by the validator when a constraint may be represented in the hibernate metadata
PropertyConstraint	Interface implemented by the validator when a constraint may be represented in a hibernate metadata property
Validator<A extends Annotation>	A constraint validator for a particular annotation

Class Summary

AssertFalseValidator	Check if a given object is false or not
AssertTrueValidator	Check whether an element is true or not
ClassValidator<T>	Engine that take a bean and check every expressed annotation restrictions
EmailValidator	Check that a given string is a well-formed email address
FutureValidator	Check that a given date is in the future, and apply the same restriction at the DB level
InvalidValue	A single violation of a class level or method level constraint.
LengthValidator	Do check a length restriction on a string, and apply expected contraints on hibernate metadata.
MaxValidator	Do check a max restriction on a numeric (whether and actual number or its string representation, and apply expected contraints on hibernate metadata.
MinValidator	Do check a min restriction on a numeric (whether and actual number or its string representation, and apply expected contraints on hibernate metadata.
NotNullValidator	Check a not null restriction on an object and apply the equivalent constraint on hibernate metadata.
PastValidator	Check that a given date is in the past, and apply the same restriction at the DB level
PatternValidator	check if a given element match the regular expression
RangeValidator	The value has to be in a defined range, the constraint is also applied on DB
SizeValidator	Check the size range according to the element

Exception Summary

InvalidStateException

Thrown when the bean has violated one or several of its constraints You can get the violation details in getInvalidValues()

Annotation Types Summary

AssertFalse	The annotated property has to be false.
AssertTrue	The annotated element has to be true
Email	The string has to be a well-formed email address
Future	Check that a Date, a Calendar, or a string representation apply in the future
Length	Apply some length restrictions to the annotated element.
Max	max restriction on a numeric annotated element
Min	min restriction on a numeric annotated elemnt (or the string representation of a numeric)
NotNull	not null constraint
Past	Check that a Date, a Calendar, or a string representation apply in the past
Pattern	The annotated element must follow the regexp pattern
Range	The annotated elemnt has to be in the appropriate range.
Size	Size range for Arrays, Collections or Maps
Valid	Enables recursive validation of an associated object
ValidatorClass	Link between an constraint annotation and it's validator implementation
