Enum Constant Details

AUTO

public static final ValidationMode AUTO

If a Jakarta Validation provider is present in the environment, the persistence provider must perform the automatic validation of entities. If no Jakarta Validation provider is present in the environment, no lifecycle event validation takes place. This is the default behavior.

To ensure deterministic behavior and prevent silent validation omissions, applications should explicitly set the validation-mode to CALLBACK rather than relying on the default.

CALLBACK

public static final ValidationMode CALLBACK

The persistence provider must perform the lifecycle event validation. It is an error if there is no Jakarta Validation provider present in the environment.

NONE

public static final ValidationMode NONE

The persistence provider must not perform lifecycle event validation.

Method Details

values

public static ValidationMode[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ValidationMode valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
