Class AbstractVirtualValidationStrategy

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.myfaces.extensions.validator.core.validation.strategy.AbstractVirtualValidationStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

IdentifiableValidationStrategy, ValidationStrategy

public abstract class AbstractVirtualValidationStrategy
extends Object
implements IdentifiableValidationStrategy

To map constraints directly to a meta-data transformer if there is no validation strategy (required by jsr 303). So the ValidationStrategy is only used to have the component initialization and is not used to do the actual validation.
