- com.vaadin.data.validator.BeanValidator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Validator<Object>, Serializable, BiFunction<Object,ValueContext,ValidationResult>
```
public class BeanValidator
extends Object
implements Validator<Object>
```
A Validator using the JSR-303 (javax.validation) annotation-based bean validation mechanism. Values passed to this validator are compared against the constraints, if any, specified by annotations on the corresponding bean property.
Note that a JSR-303 implementation (for instance Hibernate Validator or Apache BVal) must be present on the project classpath when using bean validation. Specification versions 1.0 and 1.1 are supported.

Since:

8.0

```
public BeanValidator(Class<?> beanType,
                     String propertyName)
```
    Creates a new JSR-303 BeanValidator that validates values of the specified property. Localizes validation messages using the default locale.
    
    Parameters:
    
    beanType - the bean type declaring the property, not null
    
    propertyName - the property to validate, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if BeanUtil.checkBeanValidationAvailable() returns false
- Method Detail
  - apply
```
public ValidationResult apply(Object value,
                              ValueContext context)
```
    Validates the given value as if it were the value of the bean property configured for this validator. Returns Result.ok if there are no JSR-303 constraint violations, a Result.error of chained constraint violation messages otherwise.
    Null values are accepted unless the property has an @NotNull annotation or equivalent.
    
    Specified by:
    
    apply in interface BiFunction<Object,ValueContext,ValidationResult>
    
    Specified by:
    
    apply in interface Validator<Object>
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the input value to validate
    
    context - the value context for validation
    
    Returns:
    
    the validation result
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
  - getJavaxBeanValidatorFactory
```
protected static javax.validation.ValidatorFactory getJavaxBeanValidatorFactory()
```
    Returns the underlying JSR-303 bean validator factory used. A factory is created using Validation if necessary.
    
    Returns:
    
    the validator factory to use
  - getJavaxBeanValidator
```
public javax.validation.Validator getJavaxBeanValidator()
```
    Returns a shared JSR-303 validator instance to use.
    
    Returns:
    
    the validator to use
  - getMessage
```
protected String getMessage(javax.validation.ConstraintViolation<?> violation,
                            Locale locale)
```
    Returns the interpolated error message for the given constraint violation using the locale specified for this validator.
    
    Parameters:
    
    violation - the constraint violation
    
    locale - the used locale
    
    Returns:
    
    the localized error message
  - createContext
```
protected javax.validation.MessageInterpolator.Context createContext(javax.validation.ConstraintViolation<?> violation)
```
    Creates a simple message interpolation context based on the given constraint violation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    violation - the constraint violation
    
    Returns:
    
    the message interpolation context
