  • Method Details

    • buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate

      HibernateConstraintViolationBuilder buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate(String messageTemplate)
      Specified by:
      buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate in interface ConstraintValidatorContext

    • addMessageParameter

      HibernateConstraintValidatorContext addMessageParameter(String name, Object value)
      Allows to set an additional named parameter which can be interpolated in the constraint violation message. The variable will be available for interpolation for all constraint violations generated for this constraint. This includes the default one as well as all violations created by the ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder. To create multiple constraint violations with different variable values, this method can be called between successive calls to ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder.addConstraintViolation().

      For example: 

       
 public boolean isValid(String value, ConstraintValidatorContext constraintValidatorContext) {
     HibernateConstraintValidatorContext context = constraintValidatorContext.unwrap( HibernateConstraintValidatorContext.class );

     context.addMessageParameter( "foo", "bar" );
     context.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate( "{foo}" )
            .addConstraintViolation();

     context.addMessageParameter( "foo", "snafu" );
     context.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate( "{foo}" )
            .addConstraintViolation();

     return false;
  }
      Parameters:
      name - the name under which to bind the parameter, cannot be null
      value - the value to be bound to the specified name
      Returns:
      a reference to itself to allow method chaining
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - in case the provided name is null
      Since:
      5.4.1

    • addExpressionVariable

      HibernateConstraintValidatorContext addExpressionVariable(String name, Object value)
      Allows to set an additional expression variable which will be available as an EL variable during interpolation. The variable will be available for interpolation for all constraint violations generated for this constraint. This includes the default one as well as all violations created by the ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder. To create multiple constraint violations with different variable values, this method can be called between successive calls to ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder.addConstraintViolation().

      For example: 

       
 public boolean isValid(String value, ConstraintValidatorContext constraintValidatorContext) {
     HibernateConstraintValidatorContext context = constraintValidatorContext.unwrap( HibernateConstraintValidatorContext.class );

     context.addExpressionVariable( "foo", "bar" );
     context.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate( "${foo}" )
            .addConstraintViolation();

     context.addExpressionVariable( "foo", "snafu" );
     context.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate( "${foo}" )
            .addConstraintViolation();

     return false;
  }
      Parameters:
      name - the name under which to bind the expression variable, cannot be null
      value - the value to be bound to the specified name
      Returns:
      a reference to itself to allow method chaining
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - in case the provided name is null

    • withDynamicPayload

      HibernateConstraintValidatorContext withDynamicPayload(Object payload)
      Allows to set an object that may further describe the violation. The user is responsible himself to ensure that this payload is serializable in case the jakarta.validation.ConstraintViolation has to be serialized.
      Parameters:
      payload - an object representing additional information about the violation
      Returns:
      a reference to itself to allow method chaining
      Since:
      5.3

    • getConstraintValidatorPayload

      @Incubating <C> C getConstraintValidatorPayload(Class<C> type)
      Returns an instance of the specified type or null if the current constraint validator payload isn't of the given type.
      Parameters:
      type - the type of payload to retrieve
      Returns:
      an instance of the specified type or null if the current constraint validator payload isn't of the given type
      Since:
      6.0.9
