can I override a jsr-303 validation annotation

Question

I have a test like below:

public class TestSizeAnnotation
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println(Validation.buildDefau         


        

Answer 1

Overriding validation annotations is actually not supported for JSR-303. Instead annotations on overridden methods in the subclass will be applied cumulatively: From section 3.3 of the specification:

A constraint declaration can be placed on an interface. For a given class,
constraint declarations held on super- classes as well as interfaces are
evaluated by the Bean Validation provider. Rules are formally described in
Section 3.4.5.

The effect of constraint declarations is cumulative. Constraints declared
on a superclass getter will be validated along with any constraints defined
on an overridden version of the getter according to the Java Language
Specification visibility rules.
