<div class="block">Expresses which executables (methods or constructors) should have their parameters
and return value validated upon execution. Can be on executable (method, constructor)
or type level (with the former taking precedence).
<p>
If not present for a given executable, the default configuration from
<code>META-INF/validation.xml</code> and finally the implicit default
validated executable types (constructors and non-getters) are taken into account to
determine whether a given executable is validated upon execution or not.
<p>
The following describes the formal rules for deciding whether an executable is validated.
They are applied in decreasing order:
<ul>
<li>the executable is validated if it is annotated with <code>@ValidateOnExecution</code>
and the <code>type</code> attribute contains the executable type or
<a href="../../../javax/validation/executable/ExecutableType.html#IMPLICIT"><code>ExecutableType.IMPLICIT</code></a>. If the <code>type</code> attribute does neither contain
the executable type nor <code>IMPLICIT</code>, the executable is not validated.</li>
<li>otherwise the executable is validated if the type (class, interface) on which it
is declared is annotated with <code>@ValidateOnExecution</code> and the <code>type</code>
attribute contains the executable type. If the <code>type</code> attribute contains
<code>IMPLICIT</code>, then this rule is ignored and the behavior is equivalent to
<code>ValidateOnExecution</code> not being present. If the <code>type</code> attribute does not
contain the executable type, the executable is not validated.</li>
<li>otherwise the executable is validated if the global executable validation setting
contains the executable type. If the global setting does not contain the executable
type, the executable is not validated.</li>
<li>The rules above do not apply to methods overriding a superclass method or
implementing an interface method. In this case, the method inherits the behavior
of the method it overrides or implements. Out of the box, a conforming implementation
raises a <a href="../../../javax/validation/ValidationException.html" title="class in javax.validation"><code>ValidationException</code></a> if the overriding / implementing method hosts
the <code>ValidateOnExecution</code> annotation.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Note that you can exclude an executable from validation by making sure the rules above do
not match or by annotating the executable with <code>@ValidateOnExecution(NONE)</code>.</div>
