- Method Detail
  - getValidationModes
```
Set<ValidationMode> getValidationModes()
```
    Access the requested validation mode(s).
    
    Returns:
    
    The requested validation modes
    
    Implementation Note:
    
    The legacy code allowed multiple mode values to be specified, so that is why it is multivalued here. However, I cannot find any good reasoning why it was defined that way and even JPA states it should be a single value. For 4.1 (in maintenance) I think it makes the most sense to not mess with it. Discuss for 4.2 and beyond.
