ReturnValueMetaData

public ReturnValueMetaData(Type type,
                   Set<MetaConstraint<?>> constraints,
                   boolean isCascading,
                   Map<Class<?>,Class<?>> groupConversions,

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.

convertGroup

public Class<?> convertGroup(Class<?> originalGroup)

Description copied from interface: Cascadable

Converts the given validation group as per the group conversion configuration for this element (as e.g. specified via @ConvertGroup.

Specified by:

convertGroup in interface Cascadable

Parameters:

originalGroup - The group to convert.

Returns:

The converted group. Will be the original group itself in case no conversion is to be performed.

getGroupConversionDescriptors

public Set<GroupConversionDescriptor> getGroupConversionDescriptors()

Description copied from interface: Cascadable

Returns a set with GroupConversionDescriptors representing the group conversions of this cascadable.

Specified by:

getGroupConversionDescriptors in interface Cascadable

Returns:

A set with group conversion descriptors. May be empty, but never null.

getElementType

public ElementType getElementType()

Specified by:

getElementType in interface Cascadable

getValue

public Object getValue(Object parent)

Description copied from interface: Cascadable

Retrieves the value of this element from the given object.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Cascadable

Parameters:

parent - The object to retrieve the value from.

Returns:

This element's value.

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.
