Annotation Type ValidateExecutable

@Target(value={CONSTRUCTOR,METHOD,TYPE,PACKAGE})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface ValidateExecutable

Expresses which executables (method or constructor) should have their parameters and return value validated upon execution.

The settings for a given executable is resolved as followed. A given executable is validated upon execution:

• if it is annotated with @ValidateExecutable and the value attribute contains the executable type. If the value attribute does not contain the executable type, the executable is not validated.
• otherwise if, the type (class, interface) on which the executable is defined is annotated with @ValidateExecutable and the value attribute contains the executable type. If the value attribute does not contain the executable type, the executable is not validated.
• otherwise if the global executable validation setting contains the executable type. If the global setting does not contain the executable type, the executable is not validated.
• The rules above do not apply to methods overriding a superclass method or implementing an interface method. In this case, the method inherits the behavior of the method it overrides / implements.
