Class Validation

java.lang.Object

com.google.gwt.validation.client.impl.Validation

Direct Known Subclasses:

Validation

public class Validation
extends Object

This class is the entry point for Bean Validation. Bootstrapping is done as follows:

 ValidatorFactory factory = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory();

Or, equivalently:

 Configuration<?> configuration = Validation
    .byDefaultProvider()
    .configure();
 ValidatorFactory factory = configuration.buildValidatorFactory();
 

Only the default provider is available for use, and thus the byProvider and providerResolver methods are not supported. Calling either of these methods will generate an exception.

This class was modified by Google from the original javax.validation.Validation source to make it suitable for GWT.

Method Detail

buildDefaultValidatorFactory

public static javax.validation.ValidatorFactory buildDefaultValidatorFactory()

Build and return a ValidatorFactory instance based on the default Bean Validation provider.

The provider list is resolved using the default validation provider resolver logic.

The code is semantically equivalent to Validation.byDefaultProvider().configure().buildValidatorFactory()

Returns:

ValidatorFactory instance.

Throws:

javax.validation.ValidationException - if the ValidatorFactory cannot be built

byDefaultProvider

public static javax.validation.bootstrap.GenericBootstrap byDefaultProvider()

Build a Configuration.

 Configuration<?> configuration = Validation
    .byDefaultProvider()
    .configure();
 ValidatorFactory factory = configuration.buildValidatorFactory();
 

The first available provider will be returned.

Returns:

instance building a generic Configuration complaint with the bootstrap state provided.

byProvider

public static <T extends Configuration<T>,U extends javax.validation.spi.ValidationProvider<T>> javax.validation.bootstrap.ProviderSpecificBootstrap<T> byProvider(Class<U> providerType)

Unsupported. Always throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

Parameters:

providerType -

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException
