public class MethodExpressionValidator extends java.lang.Object implements Validator, StateHolder
MethodExpressionValidator is a Validator that wraps a
MethodExpression, and it performs validation by executing a method on an object identified by the
MethodExpression.

Validator
Perform the correctness checks implemented by this Validator
against the specified UIComponent. If any violations are found, a ValidatorException will be thrown
containing the FacesMessage describing the failure.
For a validator to be fully compliant with Version 2 and later of the specification, it must not fail validation on
null or empty values unless it is specifically intended to address null or empty values. An
application-wide <context-param> is provided to allow validators designed for Jakarta Server Faces
1.2 to work with Jakarta Server Faces 2 and later. The jakarta.faces.VALIDATE_EMPTY_FIELDS
<context-param> must be set to false to enable this backwards compatibility behavior.

StateHolder
Gets the state of the instance as a Serializable Object.
If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that implement StateHolder (such as a
UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.saveState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext) method
on all those instances as well. This method must not save the state of children and facets. That is
done via the StateManager
This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code:
Object state = component.saveState(facesContext);
component should be the same as before executing it.
The return from this method must be Serializable

If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that also implement StateHolder (such as a
UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.restoreState(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object)
method on all those instances as well.
If the state argument is null, take no action and return.
