Bhesh is entirely right. You should be doing the validating job inside a Validator.

As to the concrete problem, move the out of the (or if you're listening to us) into the input component and then use UIComponent#getAttributes() to obtain it. E.g.

with

Object theMaxOrderSize = component.getAttributes().get("theMaxOrderSize");
// ...

(where component is the UIComponent argument of the validate() method, it represents the parent input component)

You can cast it to Integer or whatever object type the #{_cartItem.item.maxOrderSize} represents.
