      • getClientConstraintHandlers

        public Collection<ClientConstraintHandler> getClientConstraintHandlers()
        Description copied from class: Constraint
        Gets the client-side constraint handlers which will be used to enforce this constraint in client applications. The default implementation is to return an empty set of client constraint handlers.
        Overrides:
        getClientConstraintHandlers in class Constraint
        Returns:
        Returns the client-side constraint handlers which will be used to enforce this constraint in client applications. The returned collection must not be null but maybe empty (indicating that the constraint can only be enforced on the server-side).
      • getServerConstraintHandlers

        public Collection<ServerConstraintHandler> getServerConstraintHandlers()
        Description copied from class: Constraint
        Gets the server-side constraint handlers which will be used to enforce this constraint within the server. The default implementation is to return an empty set of server constraint handlers.
        Overrides:
        getServerConstraintHandlers in class Constraint
        Returns:
        Returns the server-side constraint handlers which will be used to enforce this constraint within the server. The returned collection must not be null and must not be empty, since constraints must always be enforced on the server.
      • getSynopsis

        public LocalizableMessage getSynopsis()
        Gets the synopsis of this constraint in the default locale.
        Returns:
        Returns the synopsis of this constraint in the default locale.
      • getSynopsis

        public LocalizableMessage getSynopsis​(Locale locale)
        Gets the synopsis of this constraint in the specified locale.
        Parameters:
        locale - The locale.
        Returns:
        Returns the synopsis of this constraint in the specified locale.
      • initialize

        protected void initialize()
                           throws Exception
        Description copied from class: Constraint
        Initializes this constraint. The default implementation is to do nothing.
        Overrides:
        initialize in class Constraint
        Throws:
        Exception - If this constraint could not be initialized.
