Class LazyValidatorFactory

java.lang.Object

org.hibernate.validator.util.LazyValidatorFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValidatorFactory

public class LazyValidatorFactory
extends Object
implements ValidatorFactory

This class lazily initialize the ValidatorFactory on the first usage One benefit is that no domain class is loaded until the ValidatorFactory is really needed. Useful to avoid loading classes before JPA is initialized and has enhanced its classes. When no Configuration is passed, the provider is Hibernate Validator This class is used by JBoss AS 6. Experimental, not considered a public API
