eu.etaxonomy.cdm.validation.Severity

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.validation.Payload

Direct Known Subclasses:

Severity.Error, Severity.Notice, Severity.Warning

public abstract class Severity
extends Object
implements javax.validation.Payload

A class conveying the severity of a ConstraintViolation. Severity levels are extraneous to the javax.validation framework and can only be conveyed using generic Payload objects. Unfortunately, only the class of those objects is communicated back to the client. The class is the message. Concrete instances or enum s (an obvious choice for severity levels) cannot function as Payload objects. The Severity class enables you to program using true Severity instances (one for each level), while behind the scenes only the class of those instances is taken into account.
