Classes in javax.validation used by javax.validation

Class and Description
BootstrapConfiguration Represents the user specified default configuration in META-INF/validation.xml.
Configuration Receives configuration information, selects the appropriate Bean Validation provider and builds the appropriate ValidatorFactory.
ConstraintDeclarationException Exception raised if a constraint declaration is not legal
ConstraintValidator Defines the logic to validate a given constraint A for a given object type T.
ConstraintValidatorContext Provide contextual data and operation when applying a given constraint validator.
ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder ConstraintViolation builder allowing to optionally associate the violation report to a sub path.
ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder.NodeBuilderCustomizableContext Represent a node whose context is configurable (ie index, key and isInIterable)
ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder.NodeBuilderDefinedContext Represent a node whose context is known (ie index, key and isInIterable)
ConstraintValidatorContext.ConstraintViolationBuilder.NodeContextBuilder Represent refinement choices for a node which is in an Iterator or Map.
ConstraintValidatorFactory Instantiate a ConstraintValidator instance based off its class.
ConstraintViolation Describe a constraint violation.
MessageInterpolator Interpolate a given constraint violation message.
MessageInterpolator.Context Information related to the interpolation context
MethodValidator Validates parameters and return values of methods respectively constructors.
ParameterNameProvider Provides names for method and constructor parameters.
Path Represents the navigation path from an object to another in an object graph.
Path.Node Represents an element of a navigation path.
TraversableResolver Contract determining if a property can be accessed by the Bean Validation provider.
ValidationException Base exception of all "unexpected" problems.
Validator Validates bean instances.
ValidatorContext Represents the context that is used to create Validator instances.
ValidatorFactory Factory returning initialized Validator instances.

Classes in javax.validation used by javax.validation.bootstrap

Class and Description
Configuration Receives configuration information, selects the appropriate Bean Validation provider and builds the appropriate ValidatorFactory.
ValidationProviderResolver Determines the list of Bean Validation providers available in the runtime environment Bean Validation providers are identified by the presence of META-INF/services/javax.validation.spi.ValidationProvider files following the Service Provider pattern described here Each META-INF/services/javax.validation.spi.ValidationProvider file contains the list of ValidationProvider implementations each of them representing a provider.

Classes in javax.validation used by javax.validation.constraints

Class and Description
Constraint Link between a constraint annotation and its constraint validation implementations.
