public interface Validator

A component which performs a validation and expresses its result through a ValidationResult object.

The validate(MuleEvent) method receives a MuleEvent in order to make it generic and easy to extend. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that all the validation is performed with or over the event exclusively. Thread safeness is not to be assumed over instances of this class since the validator could be stateful.

Since:

3.7.0
