Problem In Validator Interface

[Abhra Kar]

What is the role of supports() in Validator.
I use a supports() like this ---

@Override
public boolean supports(Class<?> clazz) {
//return User.class.isAssignableFrom(clazz);
return User.class.equals(clazz);

//return false;
}

In this method body what does "isAssignableFrom(clazz);" do.

please provide me some links from where I can understand the Validator interface fully

supports method tells you whether this validator supports the validations for the field in the specified class..
