Interface ConstraintMappingContributor

public interface ConstraintMappingContributor

Implementations contribute ConstraintMappings to validator factory.

A constraint mapping contributor can be configured in META-INF/validation.xml, using the property BaseHibernateValidatorConfiguration.CONSTRAINT_MAPPING_CONTRIBUTORS, thus allowing to set up constraints to be validated by default validators dynamically via the API for programmatic constraint declaration.

Implementations must have a no-args constructor.

One or more mappings can be added as shown in the following:

 
 public static class MyConstraintMappingContributor implements ConstraintMappingContributor {

     public void createConstraintMappings(ConstraintMappingBuilder builder) {
         builder.addConstraintMapping()
             .type( Marathon.class )
                 .property( "name", METHOD )
                     .constraint( new NotNullDef() )
                 .property( "numberOfHelpers", FIELD )
                     .constraint( new MinDef().value( 1 ) );

         builder.addConstraintMapping()
             .type( Runner.class )
                 .property( "paidEntryFee", FIELD )
                     .constraint( new AssertTrueDef() );
     }
 }
