Method Detail

validate

void validate(HttpRequest request,
            Object object,
            Class<?>... groups)

Validates all constraints on object.

Parameters:

object - object to validate

groups - the group or list of groups targeted for validation (defaults to Default)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if object is null or if null is passed to the varargs groups

ValidationException - if a non recoverable error happens during the validation process

validateAllParameters

void validateAllParameters(HttpRequest request,
                         Object object,
                         Method method,
                         Object[] parameterValues,
                         Class<?>... groups)

Validates all constraints placed on the parameters of the given method.

Type Parameters:

T - the type hosting the method to validate

Parameters:

object - the object on which the method to validate is invoked

method - the method for which the parameter constraints is validated

parameterValues - the values provided by the caller for the given method's parameters

groups - the group or list of groups targeted for validation (defaults to Default)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if null is passed for any of the parameters or if parameters don't match with each other

ValidationException - if a non recoverable error happens during the validation process

validateReturnValue

void validateReturnValue(HttpRequest request,
                       Object object,
                       Method method,
                       Object returnValue,
                       Class<?>... groups)

Validates all return value constraints of the given method.

Type Parameters:

T - the type hosting the method to validate

Parameters:

object - the object on which the method to validate is invoked

method - the method for which the return value constraints is validated

returnValue - the value returned by the given method

groups - the group or list of groups targeted for validation (defaults to Default)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if null is passed for any of the object, method or groups parameters or if parameters don't match with each other

ValidationException - if a non recoverable error happens during the validation process

isValidatable

boolean isValidatable(Class<?> clazz)

Indicates if validation is turned on for a class.

Parameters:

clazz - Class to be examined

Returns:

true if and only if validation is turned on for clazz

isMethodValidatable

boolean isMethodValidatable(Method method)

Indicates if validation is turned on for a method.

Parameters:

method - method to be examined

Returns:

true if and only if validation is turned on for method

checkViolations

void checkViolations(HttpRequest request)
