## org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation
Class MethodValidationInterceptor

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.MethodValidationInterceptor

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Advice, Interceptor, MethodInterceptor

    public class MethodValidationInterceptor

extends Object
implements MethodInterceptor

An AOP Alliance `MethodInterceptor` implementation that delegates to a JSR-303 provider for performing method-level validation on annotated methods.

Applicable methods have JSR-303 constraint annotations on their parameters and/or on their return value (in the latter case specified at the method level, typically as inline annotation).

E.g.: `public @NotNull Object myValidMethod(@NotNull String arg1, @Max(10) int arg2)`

Validation groups can be specified through Spring's `Validated` annotation at the type level of the containing target class, applying to all public service methods of that class. By default, JSR-303 will validate against its default group only.

As of Spring 3.1, this functionality requires Hibernate Validator 4.2 or higher. In Spring 3.1.2, this class will autodetect a Bean Validation 1.1 compliant provider and automatically use the standard method validation support there (once available).

Since:
  3.1
