Method Summary

void	assertValid(Object validatedObject) validates the field and getter constrains of the given object and throws an ConstraintsViolatedException if any constraint violations are detected
void	assertValidFieldValue(Object validatedObject, Field validatedField, Object fieldValueToValidate) Validates the give value against the defined field constraints and throws an ConstraintsViolatedException if any constraint violations are detected.
List<ConstraintViolation>	validate(Object validatedObject) validates the field and getter constrains of the given object
List<ConstraintViolation>	validate(Object validatedObject, String... profiles) validates the field and getter constrains of the given object
List<ConstraintViolation>	validateFieldValue(Object validatedObject, Field validatedField, Object fieldValueToValidate) Validates the give value against the defined field constraints.

void assertValidFieldValue(Object validatedObject,
                           Field validatedField,
                           Object fieldValueToValidate)
                           throws IllegalArgumentException,

ConstraintsViolatedException

ValidationFailedException

validate

List<ConstraintViolation> validate(Object validatedObject)
                                   throws IllegalArgumentException,
                                          ValidationFailedException

validates the field and getter constrains of the given object

Parameters:

validatedObject - the object to validate, cannot be null

Returns:

a list with the detected constraint violations. if no violations are detected an empty list is returned

Throws:

ValidationFailedException

IllegalArgumentException - if validatedObject == null

validate

List<ConstraintViolation> validate(Object validatedObject,
                                   String... profiles)
                                   throws IllegalArgumentException,
                                          ValidationFailedException

validates the field and getter constrains of the given object

Parameters:

validatedObject - the object to validate, cannot be null

profiles - constraint profiles to validate against, by default the globally enabled profiles are used that.

Returns:

a list with the detected constraint violations. if no violations are detected an empty list is returned

Throws:

ValidationFailedException

IllegalArgumentException - if validatedObject == null

validateFieldValue

List<ConstraintViolation> validateFieldValue(Object validatedObject,
                                             Field validatedField,

Validates the give value against the defined field constraints.

Returns:

a list with the detected constraint violations. if no violations are detected an empty list is returned

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if validatedObject == null or validatedField == null
