org.hibernate.validator.internal.metadata.aggregated.PotentiallyContainerCascadingMetaData

All Implemented Interfaces:

CascadingMetaData

public class PotentiallyContainerCascadingMetaData
extends java.lang.Object
implements CascadingMetaData

A simplified view of the cascading validation metadata for a potentially container element at runtime. Has a set of possible ValueExtractorDescriptors that might be applied to a potential runtime type.

Description copied from interface: CascadingMetaData

Add additional cascading metadata when:

• the element is marked with @Valid,
• the runtime type of the element is container based (e.g. collections, maps or arrays),
• and there are ValueExtractors present for such container,
• and the declared type isn't container based.

An example of this particular situation is: @Valid private Object element = new ArrayList<String>().

Note that if the declared type is container based, the cascading information is directly included at bootstrap time.
