public class SpringValidatorAdapter extends Object implements SmartValidator, Validator
javax.validator.Validator and
 exposes it as a Spring Validator
 while also exposing the original JSR-303 Validator interface itself.
 Can be used as a programmatic wrapper. Also serves as base class for
 CustomValidatorBean and LocalValidatorFactoryBean,
 and as the primary implementation of the SmartValidator interface.
 
As of Spring Framework 5.0, this adapter is fully compatible with Bean Validation 1.1 as well as 2.0.

SmartValidatortarget object, which must be of a type of Class

 The supplied errors instance can be used to report any
 resulting validation errors.
 
This variant of validate() supports validation hints, such as
 validation groups against a JSR-303 provider (in which case, the provided hint
 objects need to be annotation arguments of type Class).
 
Note: Validation hints may get ignored by the actual target Validator,
 in which case this method should behave just like its regular
 Validator.validate(Object, Errors) sibling.

The default implementation returns a first argument indicating the field name

 annotation attributes (i.e. excluding "message", "groups" and "payload") in
 alphabetical order of their attribute names.
 
Can be overridden to e.g. add further attributes from the constraint descriptor.

 (coming out ValidationMessages.properties) when rendered
 as the default message in Spring's MessageSource.
 The default implementation considers a Spring-style "{0}" placeholder
 for the field name as an indication for MessageFormat.
 Any other placeholder or escape syntax occurrences are typically a
 mismatch, coming out of regex pattern values or the like. Note that
 standard Bean Validation does not support "{0}" style placeholders at all;
 this is a feature typically used in Spring MessageSource resource bundles.
