Method Detail

hasValidationRules

public boolean hasValidationRules()

getInvalidValues

public InvalidValue[] getInvalidValues(T bean)

apply constraints on a bean instance and return all the failures.

getInvalidValues

protected InvalidValue[] getInvalidValues(T bean,
                                          Set<Object> circularityState)

apply constraints on a bean instance and return all the failures.

getInvalidValues

public InvalidValue[] getInvalidValues(T bean,
                                       String propertyName)

Apply constraints of a particular property on a bean instance and return all the failures. Note this is not recursive.

getPotentialInvalidValues

public InvalidValue[] getPotentialInvalidValues(String propertyName,

apply

public void apply(org.hibernate.mapping.PersistentClass persistentClass)
