Class BeanValidationPostProcessor

Constructor Detail

• BeanValidationPostProcessor

  public BeanValidationPostProcessor()

Method Detail

• setValidator

  public void setValidator​(Validator validator)

  Set the JSR-303 Validator to delegate to for validating beans.

  Default is the default ValidatorFactory's default Validator.

• setValidatorFactory

  public void setValidatorFactory​(ValidatorFactory validatorFactory)

  Set the JSR-303 ValidatorFactory to delegate to for validating beans, using its default Validator.

  Default is the default ValidatorFactory's default Validator.

  See Also:

  ValidatorFactory.getValidator()

• setAfterInitialization

  public void setAfterInitialization​(boolean afterInitialization)

  Choose whether to perform validation after bean initialization (i.e. after init methods) instead of before (which is the default).

  Default is "false" (before initialization). Switch this to "true" (after initialization) if you would like to give init methods a chance to populate constrained fields before they get validated.

• afterPropertiesSet

  public void afterPropertiesSet()

  Description copied from interface: InitializingBean
  Invoked by the containing BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties and satisfied BeanFactoryAware, ApplicationContextAware etc.

  This method allows the bean instance to perform validation of its overall configuration and final initialization when all bean properties have been set.

  Specified by:

  afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

• postProcessBeforeInitialization

  public Object postProcessBeforeInitialization​(Object bean,
                                                String beanName)
                                         throws BeansException

  Description copied from interface: BeanPostProcessor
  Apply this BeanPostProcessor to the given new bean instance before any bean initialization callbacks (like InitializingBean's afterPropertiesSet or a custom init-method). The bean will already be populated with property values. The returned bean instance may be a wrapper around the original.

  The default implementation returns the given bean as-is.

  Specified by:

  postProcessBeforeInitialization in interface BeanPostProcessor

  Parameters:

  bean - the new bean instance

  beanName - the name of the bean

  Returns:

  the bean instance to use, either the original or a wrapped one; if null, no subsequent BeanPostProcessors will be invoked

  Throws:

  BeansException - in case of errors

  See Also:

  InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet()

• postProcessAfterInitialization

  public Object postProcessAfterInitialization​(Object bean,
                                               String beanName)
                                        throws BeansException

  Description copied from interface: BeanPostProcessor
  Apply this BeanPostProcessor to the given new bean instance after any bean initialization callbacks (like InitializingBean's afterPropertiesSet or a custom init-method). The bean will already be populated with property values. The returned bean instance may be a wrapper around the original.

  In case of a FactoryBean, this callback will be invoked for both the FactoryBean instance and the objects created by the FactoryBean (as of Spring 2.0). The post-processor can decide whether to apply to either the FactoryBean or created objects or both through corresponding bean instanceof FactoryBean checks.

  This callback will also be invoked after a short-circuiting triggered by a InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor.postProcessBeforeInstantiation(java.lang.Class<?>, java.lang.String) method, in contrast to all other BeanPostProcessor callbacks.

  The default implementation returns the given bean as-is.

  Specified by:

  postProcessAfterInitialization in interface BeanPostProcessor

  Parameters:

  bean - the new bean instance

  beanName - the name of the bean

  Returns:

  the bean instance to use, either the original or a wrapped one; if null, no subsequent BeanPostProcessors will be invoked

  Throws:

  BeansException - in case of errors

  InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet(), FactoryBean

• doValidate

  protected void doValidate​(Object bean)

  Perform validation of the given bean.

  Parameters:

  bean - the bean instance to validate

  Validator.validate(T, java.lang.Class<?>...)
