    • Method Detail

      • validateParameters

        <T> Set<ConstraintViolation<T>> validateParameters(T object,
                                                   Method method,
                                                   Object[] parameterValues,
                                                   Class<?>... groups)
        Validates all constraints placed on the parameters of the given method.
        Type Parameters:
        T - the type hosting the method to validate
        Parameters:
        object - the object on which the method to validate is invoked
        method - the method for which the parameter constraints is validated
        parameterValues - the values provided by the caller for the given method's parameters
        groups - the group or list of groups targeted for validation (defaults to Default)
        Returns:
        a set with the constraint violations caused by this validation; will be empty if no error occurs, but never null
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if null is passed for any of the parameters or if parameters don't match with each other
        ValidationException - if a non recoverable error happens during the validation process

      • validateReturnValue

        <T> Set<ConstraintViolation<T>> validateReturnValue(T object,
                                                    Method method,
                                                    Object returnValue,
                                                    Class<?>... groups)
        Validates all return value constraints of the given method.
        Type Parameters:
        T - the type hosting the method to validate
        Parameters:
        object - the object on which the method to validate is invoked
        method - the method for which the return value constraints is validated
        returnValue - the value returned by the given method
        groups - the group or list of groups targeted for validation (defaults to Default)
        Returns:
        a set with the constraint violations caused by this validation; will be empty if no error occurs, but never null
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if null is passed for any of the object, method or groups parameters or if parameters don't match with each other
        ValidationException - if a non recoverable error happens during the validation process

      • validateConstructorParameters

        <T> Set<ConstraintViolation<T>> validateConstructorParameters(Constructor<? extends T> constructor,
                                                              Object[] parameterValues,
                                                              Class<?>... groups)
        Validates all constraints placed on the parameters of the given constructor.
        Type Parameters:
        T - the type hosting the constructor to validate
        Parameters:
        constructor - the constructor for which the parameter constraints is validated
        parameterValues - the values provided by the caller for the given constructor's parameters
        groups - the group or list of groups targeted for validation (defaults to Default)
        Returns:
        a set with the constraint violations caused by this validation; Will be empty if no error occurs, but never null
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if null is passed for any of the parameters or if parameters don't match with each other
        ValidationException - if a non recoverable error happens during the validation process

      • validateConstructorReturnValue

        <T> Set<ConstraintViolation<T>> validateConstructorReturnValue(Constructor<? extends T> constructor,
                                                               T createdObject,
                                                               Class<?>... groups)
        Validates all return value constraints of the given constructor.
        Type Parameters:
        T - the type hosting the constructor to validate
        Parameters:
        constructor - the constructor for which the return value constraints is validated
        createdObject - the object instantiated by the given method
        groups - the group or list of groups targeted for validation (defaults to Default)
        Returns:
        a set with the constraint violations caused by this validation; will be empty, if no error occurs, but never null
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if null is passed for any of the parameters or if parameters don't match with each other
        ValidationException - if a non recoverable error happens during the validation process
