Class MetaConstraint<A extends Annotation>

java.lang.Object
org.hibernate.validator.internal.metadata.core.MetaConstraint<A>
public class MetaConstraint<A extends Annotation> extends Object
Instances of this class abstract the constraint type (class, method or field constraint) and give access to meta data about the constraint. This allows a unified handling of constraints in the validator implementation.
