- Method Detail
  - setNestedPath
```
public void setNestedPath(String nestedPath)
```
    Description copied from interface: Errors
    Allow context to be changed so that standard validators can validate subtrees. Reject calls prepend the given path to the field names.
    For example, an address validator could validate the subobject "address" of a customer object.
    Specified by:
    setNestedPath in interface Errors
    Parameters:
    nestedPath - nested path within this object, e.g. "address" (defaults to "", null is also acceptable). Can end with a dot: both "address" and "address." are valid.
  - getNestedPath
```
public String getNestedPath()
```
    Description copied from interface: Errors
    Return the current nested path of this Errors object.
    Returns a nested path with a dot, i.e. "address.", for easy building of concatenated paths. Default is an empty String.
    Specified by:
    getNestedPath in interface Errors
  - pushNestedPath
```
public void pushNestedPath(String subPath)
```
    Description copied from interface: Errors
    Push the given sub path onto the nested path stack.
    A Errors.popNestedPath() call will reset the original nested path before the corresponding pushNestedPath(String) call.
    Using the nested path stack allows to set temporary nested paths for subobjects without having to worry about a temporary path holder.
    For example: current path "spouse.", pushNestedPath("child") -> result path "spouse.child."; popNestedPath() -> "spouse." again.
    Specified by:
    pushNestedPath in interface Errors
    Parameters:
    subPath - the sub path to push onto the nested path stack
    See Also:
    Errors.popNestedPath()
  - popNestedPath
```
public void popNestedPath()
                   throws IllegalArgumentException
```
    Description copied from interface: Errors
    Pop the former nested path from the nested path stack.
    Specified by:
    popNestedPath in interface Errors
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException
    See Also:
    Errors.pushNestedPath(java.lang.String)
  - doSetNestedPath
```
protected void doSetNestedPath(String nestedPath)
```
    Actually set the nested path. Delegated to by setNestedPath and pushNestedPath.
  - fixedField
```
protected String fixedField(String field)
```
    Transform the given field into its full path, regarding the nested path of this instance.
  - canonicalFieldName
```
protected String canonicalFieldName(String field)
```
    Determine the canonical field name for the given field.
    The default implementation simply returns the field name as-is.
    Parameters:
    field - the original field name
    Returns:
    the canonical field name
  - reject
```
public void reject(String errorCode)
```
    Description copied from interface: Errors
    Register a global error for the entire target object, using the given error description.
    Specified by:
    reject in interface Errors
    Parameters:
    errorCode - error code, interpretable as a message key
  - reject
```
public void reject(String errorCode,
                   String defaultMessage)
```
    Description copied from interface: Errors
    Register a global error for the entire target object, using the given error description.
    Specified by:
    reject in interface Errors
    Parameters:
    errorCode - error code, interpretable as a message key
    defaultMessage - fallback default message
  - rejectValue
```
public void rejectValue(String field,
                        String errorCode)
```
    Description copied from interface: Errors
    Register a field error for the specified field of the current object (respecting the current nested path, if any), using the given error description.
    The field name may be null or empty String to indicate the current object itself rather than a field of it. This may result in a corresponding field error within the nested object graph or a global error if the current object is the top object.
    Specified by:
    rejectValue in interface Errors
    Parameters:
    field - the field name (may be null or empty String)
    errorCode - error code, interpretable as a message key
    See Also:
    Errors.getNestedPath()

                        String errorCode,
                        String defaultMessage)
```
    Description copied from interface: Errors
    Register a field error for the specified field of the current object (respecting the current nested path, if any), using the given error description.
