Interface SemanticValidatorHelper

All Known Implementing Classes:
GenericSemanticValidatorHelper
public interface SemanticValidatorHelper
This helper is used by AbstractSemanticValidator in order to retrieve JPA information. This helper allows third party adopter to write an instance of this helper that directly access the JPA information without having to implement Hermes SPI, which can improve performance.

GenericSemanticValidatorHelper is a default implementation that uses Hermes SPI.

Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
