Group sequence provider

Hi Team,

I want to use group sequence provider in XML configuration. But I do not find any element in validation mapping XSD where I can provide group sequence provider.

I am using Hibernate 4.3.1 version.

Your immediate reply will be of much help to me.

Thanks in advance,
Sravanthi

Sravanthi,

Group sequence providers are a Hibernate Validator specific feature which can't be configured via XML (the XSD is defined by the Bean Validation specification and it's not possible to add custom elements on the type level). You could alternatively use the programmatic configuration API. Example 11.6 in http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/validator/reference/en-US/html_single/#section-programmatic-api shows you how to do that.

Hth,

Gunnar,

thanks for your prompt reply.

i have one query w.r.t group sequence provider.

is there a way for me to do all the validations provided in the group sequence provider, since if a validation fails in first group, rest of validations in the other groups are not executed. My requirement is to do all the validations of all groups specified in group sequence provider.

thanks,
sravanthi

Hi,

I'm not sure whether I completely get your requirement.

It's the very purpose of a validation sequence to stop validation after the first group with a violation. If you want to validate several groups in one go, you may create one group which comprises all the required groups. To do so just create an interface which inherits the other groups:

Code:

public interface Complete extends Group1, Group2 {}

You can then return this group from your default group sequence provider. Does that answer your question? Otherwise an example of your use case might be helpful.
