- org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.SpringValidatorAdapter

All Implemented Interfaces:
Validator, SmartValidator, Validator
Direct Known Subclasses:
CustomValidatorBean, LocalValidatorFactoryBean
```
public class SpringValidatorAdapter
extends Object
implements SmartValidator, Validator
```
Adapter that takes a JSR-303 javax.validator.Validator and exposes it as a Spring Validator while also exposing the original JSR-303 Validator interface itself.
Can be used as a programmatic wrapper. Also serves as base class for CustomValidatorBean and LocalValidatorFactoryBean, and as the primary implementation of the SmartValidator interface.
As of Spring Framework 5.0, this adapter is fully compatible with Bean Validation 1.1 as well as 2.0.
Since:
3.0

```
public SpringValidatorAdapter(Validator targetValidator)
```
    Create a new SpringValidatorAdapter for the given JSR-303 Validator.
    Parameters:
    targetValidator - the JSR-303 Validator to wrap
- Method Detail
  - supports
```
public boolean supports(Class<?> clazz)
```
    Description copied from interface: Validator
    Can this Validatorvalidate instances of the supplied clazz?
    This method is typically implemented like so:
    return Foo.class.isAssignableFrom(clazz);
    (Where Foo is the class (or superclass) of the actual object instance that is to be validated.)
    Specified by:
    supports in interface Validator
    Parameters:
    clazz - the Class that this Validator is being asked if it can validate
    Returns:
    true if this Validator can indeed validate instances of the supplied clazz
  - validate
```
public void validate(Object target,
                     Errors errors)
```
    Description copied from interface: Validator
    Validate the supplied target object, which must be of a Class for which the Validator.supports(Class) method typically has (or would) return true.
    The supplied errors instance can be used to report any resulting validation errors.
    Specified by:
    validate in interface Validator
    Parameters:
    target - the object that is to be validated
    errors - contextual state about the validation process
    See Also:
    ValidationUtils
  - validate
```
public void validate(Object target,
                     Errors errors,
                     Object... validationHints)
```
    Description copied from interface: SmartValidator
    Validate the supplied target object, which must be of a type of Class for which the Validator.supports(Class) method typically returns true.
    The supplied errors instance can be used to report any resulting validation errors.
    This variant of validate() supports validation hints, such as validation groups against a JSR-303 provider (in which case, the provided hint objects need to be annotation arguments of type Class).
    Note: Validation hints may get ignored by the actual target Validator, in which case this method should behave just like its regular Validator.validate(Object, Errors) sibling.
    Specified by:
    validate in interface SmartValidator
    Parameters:
    target - the object that is to be validated
    errors - contextual state about the validation process
    validationHints - one or more hint objects to be passed to the validation engine
    See Also:
    Validator.validate(Object, Class[])
  - validateValue
```
public void validateValue(Class<?> targetType,
                          String fieldName,

                          Object... validationHints)
```
    Description copied from interface: SmartValidator
    Validate the supplied value for the specified field on the target type, reporting the same validation errors as if the value would be bound to the field on an instance of the target class.
    Specified by:
    validateValue in interface SmartValidator
    Parameters:
    targetType - the target type
    fieldName - the name of the field
    value - the candidate value
    errors - contextual state about the validation process
    validationHints - one or more hint objects to be passed to the validation engine

  - processConstraintViolations
```
protected void processConstraintViolations(Set<ConstraintViolation<Object>> violations,
                                           Errors errors)
```
    Process the given JSR-303 ConstraintViolations, adding corresponding errors to the provided Spring Errors object.
    Parameters:
    violations - the JSR-303 ConstraintViolation results
    errors - the Spring errors object to register to
  - determineField
```
protected String determineField(ConstraintViolation<Object> violation)
```
    Determine a field for the given constraint violation.
    The default implementation returns the stringified property path.
    Parameters:
    violation - the current JSR-303 ConstraintViolation
    Returns:
    the Spring-reported field (for use with Errors)
    Since:
    4.2
    See Also:
    ConstraintViolation.getPropertyPath(), FieldError.getField()
  - determineErrorCode
```
protected String determineErrorCode(ConstraintDescriptor<?> descriptor)
```
    Determine a Spring-reported error code for the given constraint descriptor.
    The default implementation returns the simple class name of the descriptor's annotation type. Note that the configured MessageCodesResolver will automatically generate error code variations which include the object name and the field name.
    Parameters:
    descriptor - the JSR-303 ConstraintDescriptor for the current violation
    Returns:
    a corresponding error code (for use with Errors)
    Since:
    4.2

    ConstraintDescriptor.getAnnotation(), MessageCodesResolver
  - getArgumentsForConstraint
```
protected Object[] getArgumentsForConstraint(String objectName,
                                             String field,
                                             ConstraintDescriptor<?> descriptor)
```
    Return FieldError arguments for a validation error on the given field. Invoked for each violated constraint.
    The default implementation returns a first argument indicating the field name (see getResolvableField(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)). Afterwards, it adds all actual constraint annotation attributes (i.e. excluding "message", "groups" and "payload") in alphabetical order of their attribute names.
    Can be overridden to e.g. add further attributes from the constraint descriptor.
    Parameters:
    objectName - the name of the target object
    field - the field that caused the binding error
    descriptor - the JSR-303 constraint descriptor
    Returns:
    the Object array that represents the FieldError arguments

  - getResolvableField
```
protected MessageSourceResolvable getResolvableField(String objectName,
                                                     String field)
```
    Build a resolvable wrapper for the specified field, allowing to resolve the field's name in a MessageSource.
    The default implementation returns a first argument indicating the field: of type DefaultMessageSourceResolvable, with "objectName.field" and "field" as codes, and with the plain field name as default message.
    Parameters:
    objectName - the name of the target object
    field - the field that caused the binding error
    Returns:
    a corresponding MessageSourceResolvable for the specified field

                                  BindingResult bindingResult)
```
    Extract the rejected value behind the given constraint violation, for exposure through the Spring errors representation.
    Parameters:
    field - the field that caused the binding error
    violation - the corresponding JSR-303 ConstraintViolation
    bindingResult - a Spring BindingResult for the backing object which contains the current field's value
    Returns:
    the invalid value to expose as part of the field error
    Since:
    4.2
    See Also:
    ConstraintViolation.getInvalidValue(), FieldError.getRejectedValue()
  - requiresMessageFormat
```
protected boolean requiresMessageFormat(ConstraintViolation<?> violation)
```
    Indicate whether this violation's interpolated message has remaining placeholders and therefore requires MessageFormat to be applied to it. Called for a Bean Validation defined message (coming out ValidationMessages.properties) when rendered as the default message in Spring's MessageSource.
    The default implementation considers a Spring-style "{0}" placeholder for the field name as an indication for MessageFormat. Any other placeholder or escape syntax occurrences are typically a mismatch, coming out of regex pattern values or the like. Note that standard Bean Validation does not support "{0}" style placeholders at all; this is a feature typically used in Spring MessageSource resource bundles.
    Parameters:
    violation - the Bean Validation constraint violation, including BV-defined interpolation of named attribute references in its message
    Returns:
    true if java.text.MessageFormat is to be applied, or false if the violation's message should be used as-is
