Class BeanValidationProcessor

java.lang.Object

org.instancio.internal.beanvalidation.BeanValidationProcessor

All Implemented Interfaces:

GeneratorSpecProcessor

public class BeanValidationProcessor
extends Object
implements GeneratorSpecProcessor

This class is the entry point for processing Bean Validation annotations.

The main goals of this implementation are:

• support single annotations
• support combinations of annotations from different providers
• produce repeatable results regardless of declaration order

All of the above is done on a best-effort basis and is not guaranteed to work in all circumstances.

When multiple annotations are declared, the processor first determines and consumes the primary annotation. Primary annotations are those that can only be applied to a certain type and have a certain meaning, e.g. @Email, @URL, @UUID. Currently, all supported primary annotations target character sequences. Once a primary annotation has been consumed, the processor will apply the remaining annotations.

Description copied from interface: GeneratorSpecProcessor

Processes given generator spec.

The targetClass parameter may differ from Field.getType(). This could be the case where the field is declared using a TypeVariable, in which case field's type will be Object. Alternatively, a subtype may have been specified via the API.

Specified by:

process in interface GeneratorSpecProcessor

Parameters:

spec - generator spec to process

targetClass - class being generated

field - field the generated value will be assigned to
