Class ConstraintDef<C extends ConstraintDef<C,A>,A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>

java.lang.Object

org.hibernate.validator.cfg.AnnotationDef<C,A>

org.hibernate.validator.cfg.ConstraintDef<C,A>

Type Parameters:

C - The type of a concrete sub type. Following to the "self referencing generic type" pattern each sub type has to be parametrized with itself.

A - The constraint annotation type represented by a concrete sub type.

Direct Known Subclasses:

AssertFalseDef, AssertTrueDef, CNPJDef, CodePointLengthDef, CPFDef, CreditCardNumberDef, CurrencyDef, DecimalMaxDef, DecimalMinDef, DigitsDef, DurationMaxDef, DurationMinDef, EANDef, EmailDef, FutureDef, FutureOrPresentDef, GenericConstraintDef, ISBNDef, LengthDef, LuhnCheckDef, MaxDef, MinDef, Mod10CheckDef, Mod11CheckDef, NegativeDef, NegativeOrZeroDef, NIPDef, NotBlankDef, NotEmptyDef, NotNullDef, NullDef, ParameterScriptAssertDef, PastDef, PastOrPresentDef, PatternDef, PESELDef, PositiveDef, PositiveOrZeroDef, RangeDef, REGONDef, SafeHtmlDef, ScriptAssertDef, SizeDef, TituloEleitoralDef, UniqueElementsDef, URLDef

public abstract class ConstraintDef<C extends ConstraintDef<C,A>,A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>
extends AnnotationDef<C,A>

Base class for all constraint definition types. Each sub type represents a single constraint annotation type and allows to add this constraint to a bean class in a programmatic type-safe way with help of the ConstraintMapping API.
