How to set check order for JSR303 bean validation

Question

I use the JSR303 Bean Validation to check the form input.

@NotBlank
@Size(min = 4, max = 30)
private String name;

@NotBlank
@Size(max = 100)
@Email
private          


        

Answer 1

Have you considered to define two sequences. One for name and one for mail?

@GroupSequence({NameFirst.class, NameSecond.class})
interface AllName {
}

@GroupSequence({MailFirst.class, MailSecond.class, MailThird.class})
interface AllMail {
}

In this case you would call the validator like this:

validator.validate(myObject, AllName.class, AllMail.class)
