public interface ConstraintValidatorContext {

	/**
	 * Disables the default {@link ConstraintViolation} object generation (which
	 * is using the message template declared on the constraint).
	 * 

* Useful to set a different violation message or generate a {@code ConstraintViolation} * based on a different property. */ void disableDefaultConstraintViolation(); /** * @return the current un-interpolated default message */ String getDefaultConstraintMessageTemplate(); /** * Returns a constraint violation builder building a violation report * allowing to optionally associate it to a sub path. * The violation message will be interpolated. *

* To create the {@link ConstraintViolation}, one must call either one of * the {@code addConstraintViolation()} methods available in one of the * interfaces of the fluent API. * If another method is called after {@code addConstraintViolation()} on * {@code ConstraintViolationBuilder} or any of its associated nested interfaces * an {@code IllegalStateException} is raised. *

* If {@link ConstraintValidator#isValid(Object, ConstraintValidatorContext)} returns * {@code false}, a {@code ConstraintViolation} object will be built per constraint * violation report including the default one (unless * {@link #disableDefaultConstraintViolation()} has been called). *

* {@code ConstraintViolation} objects generated from such a call * contain the same contextual information (root bean, path and so on) unless * the path has been overridden. *

* To create a different {@code ConstraintViolation}, a new constraint violation builder * has to be retrieved from {@code ConstraintValidatorContext} * * Here are a few usage examples: *

	 * //assuming the following domain model
	 * public class User {
	 *     public Map getAddresses() { ... }
	 * }
	 *
	 * public class Address {
	 *     public String getStreet() { ... }
	 *     public Country getCountry() { ... }
	 * }
	 *
	 * public class Country {
	 *     public String getName() { ... }
	 * }
	 *
	 * //From a property-level constraint on User.addresses
	 * //Build a constraint violation on the default path - i.e. the "addresses" property
	 * context.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate( "this detail is wrong" )
	 *             .addConstraintViolation();
	 *
	 * //From a class level constraint on Address
	 * //Build a constraint violation on the default path + "street"
	 * //i.e. the street property of Address
	 * context.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate( "this detail is wrong" )
	 *             .addPropertyNode( "street" )
	 *             .addConstraintViolation();
	 *
	 * //From a property-level constraint on  User.addresses
	 * //Build a constraint violation on the default path + the bean stored
	 * //under the "home" key in the map
	 * context.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate( "Incorrect home address" )
	 *             .addBeanNode()
	 *                 .inIterable().atKey( "home" )
	 *             .addConstraintViolation();
	 *
	 * //From a class level constraint on User
	 * //Build a constraint violation on the default path + addresses["home"].country.name
	 * //i.e. property "country.name" on the object stored under "home" in the map
	 * context.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate( "this detail is wrong" )
	 *             .addPropertyNode( "addresses" )
	 *             .addPropertyNode( "country" )
	 *                 .inIterable().atKey( "home" )
	 *             .addPropertyNode( "name" )
	 *             .addConstraintViolation();
	 * 
*

* Cross-parameter constraints on a method can create a node specific * to a particular parameter if required. Let's explore a few examples: *

*

	 * //Cross-parameter constraint on method createUser(String password, String passwordRepeat)
	 * //Build a constraint violation on the default path + "passwordRepeat"
	 * context.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate("Passwords do not match")
	 *             .addParameterNode(1)
	 *             .addConstraintViolation();
	 *
	 * //Cross-parameter constraint on a method
	 * //mergeAddresses(Map addresses, Map otherAddresses)
	 * //Build a constraint violation on the default path + "otherAddresses["home"]
	 * //i.e. the Address bean hosted in the "home" key of the "otherAddresses" map parameter
	 * context.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate(
	 *         "Map entry home present in both and does not match")
	 *             .addParameterNode(1)
	 *             .addBeanNode()
	 *                 .inIterable().atKey("home")
	 *             .addConstraintViolation();
	 *
	 * //Cross-parameter constraint on a method
	 * //mergeAddresses(Map addresses, Map otherAddresses)
	 * //Build a constraint violation on the default path + "otherAddresses["home"].city
	 * //i.e. on the "city" property of the Address bean hosted in
	 * //the "home" key of the "otherAddresses" map
	 * context.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate(
	 *         "Map entry home present in both but city does not match")
	 *             .addParameterNode(1)
	 *             .addPropertyNode("city")
	 *                 .inIterable().atKey("home")
	 *             .addConstraintViolation();
