    • Method Detail

      • buildConstraints

        List<StringbuildConstraints​(Class<?> propertyType,
                                      AnnotationProvider annotationProvider)
        For a given property, identify all the approprite validation constraints. Each returned value is the name of a validator (i.e., "required") or a validator name and configuration (i.e., "minlength=5"). These contraints are exactly the individual terms in a validate specification. These will ultimately be used to create FieldValidators for the field that edits the property.
        Parameters:
        propertyType - the type of the property for which constraints are needed
        annotationProvider - provides access to any annotations concerning the property (for implementations that are based on analysis of property annotations)
        Returns:
        a list of constraints
