Method Detail

getCascadables

public Iterable<Cascadable> getCascadables()

Description copied from interface: Validatable

Returns the cascaded elements of this validatable, e.g. the properties of a bean or the parameters of a method annotated with @Valid.

Specified by:

getCascadables in interface Validatable

Returns:

The cascaded elements of this validatable.

hasCascadables

public boolean hasCascadables()

Description copied from interface: Validatable

Returns true if this validatable has at least one cascadable element, false otherwise.

Specified by:

hasCascadables in interface Validatable

getElementType

public ElementType getElementType()

Description copied from interface: Cascadable

Returns the element type of the cascadable.

Specified by:

getElementType in interface Cascadable

Returns:

Returns the element type of the cascadable.

asDescriptor

public ReturnValueDescriptor asDescriptor(boolean defaultGroupSequenceRedefined,
                                          List<Class<?>> defaultGroupSequence)

Description copied from interface: ConstraintMetaData

Returns this meta data object's corresponding representation in the descriptor model.

Specified by:

asDescriptor in interface ConstraintMetaData

Parameters:

defaultGroupSequenceRedefined - Whether the bean hosting the represented element has a redefined default group sequence or not.

defaultGroupSequence - The default group sequence of the bean hosting the represented element.

Returns:

This meta data object's corresponding descriptor model representation. Implementations should return a specific sub type of ElementDescriptor.

getValue

public Object getValue(Object parent)

Description copied from interface: Cascadable

Returns the value of this cacadable from the given parent.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Cascadable

getCascadableType

public Type getCascadableType()

Description copied from interface: Cascadable

Returns the data type of this cascadable, e.g. the type of a bean property or the return type of a method.

Specified by:

getCascadableType in interface Cascadable

Returns:

This cascadable type.

appendTo

public void appendTo(PathImpl path)

Description copied from interface: Cascadable

Appends this cascadable element to the given path.

Specified by:

appendTo in interface Cascadable

getCascadingMetaData

public CascadingMetaData getCascadingMetaData()

Description copied from interface: Cascadable

Returns cascading metadata of this cascadable element. Also contains the cascading metadata of the potential container element types.

Specified by:

getCascadingMetaData in interface Cascadable

getKind

public ElementKind getKind()

Description copied from interface: ConstraintMetaData

Returns the kind of this meta data object.

Specified by:

getKind in interface ConstraintMetaData

Returns:

The kind of this meta data object.
