Class GraphBeanIdentity

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.bval.jsr303.GraphBeanIdentity

public class GraphBeanIdentity
extends Object

Class that stores the needed properties to avoid circular paths when validating an object graph.

These properties are:

• The ref of the bean to which the validation would be applied.
• The current group being validated.

FIXME: Owner is currently not used in identity checking, and probably never will be. So it is likely to be deleted.
