Scope (Jakarta EE Platform API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<Scope>
- - jakarta.validation.metadata.Scope

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Scope>
```
public enum Scope
extends Enum<Scope>
```
Scope looked at when discovering constraints.

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`HIERARCHY`	Look for constraints declared on all elements of the class hierarchy with the same name.
`LOCAL_ELEMENT`	Look for constraints declared on the current class element and ignore inheritance and elements with the same name in the class hierarchy.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - LOCAL_ELEMENT
```
public static final Scope LOCAL_ELEMENT
```
    Look for constraints declared on the current class element and ignore inheritance and elements with the same name in the class hierarchy.
  - HIERARCHY
```
public static final Scope HIERARCHY
```
    Look for constraints declared on all elements of the class hierarchy with the same name.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static Scope[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (Scope c : Scope.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Scope valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (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 type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
