ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder (Bean Validation API 1.1.0.Final)

Enclosing interface:

ConstraintValidatorContext
```
public static interface ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder
```
ConstraintViolation builder allowing to optionally associate the violation report to a sub path.
To create the ConstraintViolation, one must call either one of the addConstraintViolation() methods available in one of the interfaces of the fluent API.
If another method is called after addConstraintViolation() on ConstraintViolationBuilder or any of its associated objects an IllegalStateException is raised.

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder.LeafNodeBuilderCustomizableContext`	`addBeanNode()` Adds a bean node (class-level) to the path the `ConstraintViolation` will be associated to.
`ConstraintValidatorContext`	`addConstraintViolation()` Adds the new `ConstraintViolation` to be generated if the constraint validator marks the value as invalid.
`ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder.NodeBuilderDefinedContext`	`addNode(String name)` Deprecated. since 1.1 - replaced by `addPropertyNode(String)`, `addBeanNode()` and `addParameterNode(int)`
`ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder.NodeBuilderDefinedContext`	`addParameterNode(int index)` Adds a method parameter node to the path the `ConstraintViolation` will be associated to.
`ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder.NodeBuilderCustomizableContext`	`addPropertyNode(String name)` Adds a property node to the path the `ConstraintViolation` will be associated to.

  - addNode
```
ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder.NodeBuilderDefinedContext addNode(String name)
```
    Deprecated. since 1.1 - replaced by addPropertyNode(String), addBeanNode() and addParameterNode(int)
    
    Adds a node to the path the ConstraintViolation will be associated to.
    name describes a single property. In particular, dot (.) is not allowed.
    
    Parameters:
    name - property name
    
    Returns:
    a builder representing node name
  - addPropertyNode
```
ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder.NodeBuilderCustomizableContext addPropertyNode(String name)
```
    Adds a property node to the path the ConstraintViolation will be associated to.
    name describes a single property. In particular, dot (.) is not allowed.
    
    Parameters:
    name - property name
    
    Returns:
    a builder representing node name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the name is null
    Since:
    
    1.1
  - addBeanNode
```
ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder.LeafNodeBuilderCustomizableContext addBeanNode()
```
    Adds a bean node (class-level) to the path the ConstraintViolation will be associated to. Note that bean nodes are always leaf nodes.
    
    Returns:
    a builder representing the bean node
    Since:
    
    1.1
  - addParameterNode
```
ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder.NodeBuilderDefinedContext addParameterNode(int index)
```
    Adds a method parameter node to the path the ConstraintViolation will be associated to. The parameter index must be valid (i.e. within the boundaries of the method parameter indexes). May only be called from within cross-parameter validators.
    
    Parameters:
    index - the parameter index
    
    Returns:
    a builder representing the index-th parameter node
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the index is not valid
    Since:
    
    1.1
  - addConstraintViolation
```
ConstraintValidatorContext addConstraintViolation()
```
    Adds the new ConstraintViolation to be generated if the constraint validator marks the value as invalid.
    Methods of this ConstraintViolationBuilder instance and its nested objects throw IllegalStateException from now on.
    
    Returns:
    the ConstraintValidatorContext instance the ConstraintViolationBuilder comes from
