BeanValidator (Java EE 6 )

Field Summary
`static java.lang.String`	`DISABLE_DEFAULT_BEAN_VALIDATOR_PARAM_NAME` If this param is defined, and calling `toLowerCase().equals(“true”)` on a `String` representation of its value returns `true`, the runtime must not automatically add the validator with validator-id equal to the value of the symbolic constant `VALIDATOR_ID` to the list of default validators.
`static java.lang.String`	`EMPTY_VALIDATION_GROUPS_PATTERN` The regular expression pattern that identifies an empty list of validation groups.
`static java.lang.String`	`MESSAGE_ID` The message identifier of the `FacesMessage` to be created if a constraint failure is found.
`static java.lang.String`	`VALIDATION_GROUPS_DELIMITER` The delimiter that is used to separate the list of fully-qualified group names as strings.
`static java.lang.String`	`VALIDATOR_FACTORY_KEY` The name of the servlet context attribute which holds the object used by JSF to obtain Validator instances.
`static java.lang.String`	`VALIDATOR_ID` The standard validator id for this validator, as defined by the JSF specification.

Constructor Summary
`BeanValidator()`

Method Summary
`void`	`clearInitialState()` Reset the PartialStateHolder to a non-delta tracking state.
`java.lang.String`	`getValidationGroups()` Return the validation groups passed to the Validation API when checking constraints.
`boolean`	`initialStateMarked()` Return `true` if delta state changes are being tracked, otherwise `false`
`boolean`	`isTransient()` If true, the Object implementing this interface must not participate in state saving or restoring.
`void`	`markInitialState()` The runtime must ensure that the `PartialStateHolder.markInitialState()` method is called on each instance of this interface in the view at the appropriate time to indicate the component is in its initial state.
`void`	`restoreState(FacesContext context, java.lang.Object state)` Perform any processing required to restore the state from the entries in the state Object.
`java.lang.Object`	`saveState(FacesContext context)` Gets the state of the instance as a `Serializable` Object.
`void`	`setTransient(boolean transientValue)` Denotes whether or not the Object implementing this interface must or must not participate in state saving or restoring.
`void`	`setValidationGroups(java.lang.String validationGroups)` A comma-separated list of validation groups which are used to filter which validations get checked by this validator.
`void`	`validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, java.lang.Object value)` Verify that the value is valid according to the Bean Validation constraints.

Obtain a ValidatorFactory instance by calling Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory().

Let validationGroupsArray be a Class [] representing validator groups set on the component by the tag handler for this validator. The first search component terminates the search for the validation groups value. If no such value is found use the class name of Default as the value of the validation groups.

Let valueExpression be the return from calling UIComponent#getValueExpression on the argument component, passing the literal string “value” (without the quotes) as an argument. If this application is running in an environment with a Unified EL Implementation for Java EE6 or later, obtain the ValueReference from valueExpression and let valueBaseClase be the return from calling ValueReference.getBase() and valueProperty be the return from calling ValueReference.getProperty(). If an earlier version of the Unified EL is present, use the appropriate methods to inspect valueExpression and derive values for valueBaseClass and valueProperty.

If no ValueReference can be obtained, take no action and return.

If ValueReference.getBase() return null, take no action and return.

Obtain the ValidatorContext from the ValidatorFactory.

Decorate the MessageInterpolator returned from ValidatorFactory#getMessageInterpolator with one that leverages the Locale returned from UIViewRoot.getLocale(), and store it in the ValidatorContext using ValidatorContext#messageInterpolator.

Obtain the Validator instance from the validatorContext.

Obtain a javax.validation.BeanDescriptor from the javax.validation.Validator. If hasConstraints() on the BeanDescriptor returns false, take no action and return. Otherwise proceed.

Call Validator.validateValue(java.lang.Class, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Class...), passing valueBaseClass, valueProperty, the value argument, and validatorGroupsArray as arguments.

If the returned Set<ConstraintViolation> is non-empty, for each element in the Set, create a FacesMessage where the summary and detail are the return from calling ConstraintViolation#getMessage. Capture all such FacesMessage instances into a Collection and pass them to ValidatorException#ValidatorException(java.util.Collection), throwing the new exception.
