Method Details

createSpecializedConfiguration

public HibernateValidatorConfiguration createSpecializedConfiguration(BootstrapState state)

Description copied from interface: ValidationProvider

Specified by:

createSpecializedConfiguration in interface ValidationProvider<HibernateValidatorConfiguration>

Parameters:

state - bootstrap state

Returns:

specific Configuration implementation

createGenericConfiguration

public Configuration<?> createGenericConfiguration(BootstrapState state)

Description copied from interface: ValidationProvider

Returns a Configuration instance. This instance is not bound to use the current provider. The choice of provider follows the algorithm described in Configuration

The ValidationProviderResolver used by Configuration is provided by state. If null, the default ValidationProviderResolver is used.

Parameters:

state - bootstrap state

Returns:

non specialized Configuration implementation

buildValidatorFactory

public ValidatorFactory buildValidatorFactory(ConfigurationState configurationState)

Description copied from interface: ValidationProvider

Build a ValidatorFactory using the current provider implementation.

The ValidatorFactory is assembled and follows the configuration passed via ConfigurationState.

The returned ValidatorFactory is properly initialized and ready for use.

Specified by:

buildValidatorFactory in interface ValidationProvider<HibernateValidatorConfiguration>

Parameters:

configurationState - the configuration descriptor

Returns:

the instantiated ValidatorFactory
