Java String validation using enum values and annotation

Question

I want to validate a string against a set of values using annotations.

What I want is basically this:

@ValidateString(enumClass=com.co.enum)
String d         


        

Answer 1

You can use @NotNull annotation in conjunction with yours. To use that you need to add @Target( { ANNOTATION_TYPE }) annotation in ValidateString.
