  • Method Details

    • loadBuiltinValidators

      List<Validator> loadBuiltinValidators()
      Returns a list of built-in validators that are always applied to a Model regardless of if they are explicitly configured in the metadata of a model. This is in contrast to validators returns from calling createValidator(java.lang.String, software.amazon.smithy.model.node.ObjectNode), which are only applied to a model if they are declared in the metadata section of a model.
      Returns:
      Returns the loaded validators.

    • createValidator

      Optional<Validator> createValidator(String name, ObjectNode configuration)
      Creates and configures a Validator by name.
      Parameters:
      name - Name of the validator to create.
      configuration - Configuration data used to create the validator.
      Returns:
      Returns the created validator wrapped in an Optional.
      Throws:
      SourceException - on configuration error.
      RuntimeException - if an error occurs while creating.

    • createServiceFactory

      static ValidatorFactory createServiceFactory(Iterable<Validator> validators, Iterable<ValidatorService> services)
      Creates a ValidatorFactory that uses a collection of built-in validators and a collection of ValidatorService instances for configurable validators.

      The validators and services passed to this method are copied into a List before creating the actual factory to avoid holding on to ServiceLoader VM-wide instances that potentially utilize a Thread's context ClassLoader.

      Parameters:
      validators - Built-in validators to provide from the factory.
      services - ValidatorService instances to use to create validators.
      Returns:
      Returns the created ValidatorFactory.

    • createServiceFactory

      static ValidatorFactory createServiceFactory(ClassLoader classLoader)
      Creates a ValidatorFactory that discovers service providers using the given ClassLoader.
      Parameters:
      classLoader - Class loader used to find ValidatorProviders.
      Returns:
      Returns the created factory.
