Method Details

initialize

default void initialize(ConstraintDescriptor<A> constraintDescriptor,
 HibernateConstraintValidatorInitializationContext initializationContext)

Initializes the validator in preparation for ConstraintValidator.isValid(Object, ConstraintValidatorContext) calls. It is an alternative to ConstraintValidator.initialize(Annotation) method. Should be used if any additional information except annotation is needed to initialize a validator. Note, when using HibernateConstraintValidator user should only override one of the methods, either initialize(ConstraintDescriptor, HibernateConstraintValidatorInitializationContext) or ConstraintValidator.initialize(Annotation). Both methods will be called during initialization, starting with initialize(ConstraintDescriptor, HibernateConstraintValidatorInitializationContext).

Parameters:

constraintDescriptor - a constraint descriptor for a given constraint declaration

initializationContext - an initialization context for a current ConstraintValidatorFactory
