Interface ValidatorContext

public interface ValidatorContext
Represents the context that is used to create Validator instances. A client may use methods of the ValidatorContext returned by ValidatorFactory.usingContext() to customize the context used to create Validator instances (for instance establish different message interpolators or traversable resolvers).

  • Method Details

    • messageInterpolator

      ValidatorContext messageInterpolator(MessageInterpolator messageInterpolator)
      Defines the message interpolator implementation used by the Validator.

      If not set or if null is passed as a parameter, the message interpolator of the ValidatorFactory is used.

      Parameters:
      messageInterpolator - the MessageInterpolator used by the Validator
      Returns:
      self following the chaining method pattern

    • traversableResolver

      ValidatorContext traversableResolver(TraversableResolver traversableResolver)
      Defines the traversable resolver implementation used by the Validator.

      If not set or if null is passed as a parameter, the traversable resolver of the ValidatorFactory is used.

      Parameters:
      traversableResolver - the TraversableResolver used by the Validator
      Returns:
      self following the chaining method pattern

    • constraintValidatorFactory

      ValidatorContext constraintValidatorFactory(ConstraintValidatorFactory factory)
      Defines the constraint validator factory implementation used by the Validator. If not set or if null is passed as a parameter, the constraint validator factory of the ValidatorFactory is used.
      Parameters:
      factory - the ConstraintValidatorFactory used by the Validator
      Returns:
      self following the chaining method pattern

    • parameterNameProvider

      ValidatorContext parameterNameProvider(ParameterNameProvider parameterNameProvider)
      Defines the parameter name provider implementation used by the Validator. If not set or if null is passed as a parameter, the parameter name provider of the ValidatorFactory is used.
      Parameters:
      parameterNameProvider - parameter name provider implementation.
      Returns:
      self following the chaining method pattern
