bean-validation

Sorry if this question has been covered somewhere before. If it has please link me to it, I haven't been able to find a satisfactory answer as yet. I've been looking around trying to find a way to have the error messages provided by my javax validation more specific. The message I currently have for my @Min annotation is specified in the ValidationMessages.properties file: javax.validation.constraints.Min.message=The value of this variable must be less than {value}. and this prints out as would be expected The value of this variable must be less than 1 What I would like to have is the message

When the PathVariable 'name' doesn't pass validation a javax.validation.ConstraintViolationException is thrown. Is there a way to retrieve the parameter name in the thrown javax.validation.ConstraintViolationException? @RestController @Validated public class HelloController { @RequestMapping("/hi/{name}") public String sayHi(@Size(max = 10, min = 3, message = "name should have between 3 and 10 characters") @PathVariable("name") String name) { return "Hi " + name; } Stefan Isele - prefabware.com The following Exception Handler shows how it works : @ExceptionHandler(ConstraintViolationException

I don't understand why JSR 303 (bean validation) is for the getter methods and not setter? Isn't it more logical to put it under setter method since that is the entry point into a field and validation should be checked prior to that? Annotating getters doesn't mean that validation is performed when a getter is invoked. It is just used to identify the property to which a constraint shall apply. The big advantage of putting constraints on (usually public) getters instead on (typically private) fields is that the constraints are part of the type's public API that way. They will even be added to

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 String mail; when then name = '' and email = ''，the @NotBlank, @Size at name, @NotBlank, @Size, @Email at mail will be checked. I want set the check order, when the previous order is invalid, the next is not checked, for example. @NotBlank(order = 1) @Size(min = 4, max = 30, order = 2) private String name; (above is not support by JSR303) is there a way to implement it for using JSR303? (i think the custom annotation will done, but i don't

I'm having an issue with using @Valid on a parameter to a handler method on my @Controller . My code looks like this: @RequestMapping(value=BIBBLE_BOBBLE_URI_PATTERN + "/widgets", method=RequestMethod.POST) @ResponseBody @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.CREATED) public Widget saveNewWidget( @PathVariable final String username, @PathVariable final String bibbleBobbleName, @Valid @RequestBody final Widget widget, final BindingResult results, final HttpServletRequest request, final HttpServletResponse response) where Widget is the class for one of my domain objects. I'm using the @RequestBody

I'm looking for a way to validate a java.lang.Double field in the Spring command bean for its maximum and minimum values (a value must lie between a given range of values) like, public final class WeightBean { @Max(groups={ValidationGroup.class}, value=Double.MAX_VALUE, message="some key or default message") @Min(groups={ValidationGroup.class}, value=1D, message="some key or default message") private Double txtWeight; //Getter and setter. public interface ValidationGroup{} } But both @Max and @Min cannot take a java.lang.Double value. Note that double and float are not supported due to

I'm trying to set up a custom message source for Hibernate Validator 4.1 through Spring 3.0. I've set up the necessary configuration: <!-- JSR-303 --> <bean id="validator" class="org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.LocalValidatorFactoryBean"> <property name="validationMessageSource" ref="messageSource"/> </bean> The translations are served from my message source, but it seems that the replacement tokens in the messages themselves are looked up in the message source, i.e. for a: my.message=the property {prop} is invalid there are calls to look up 'prop' in the messageSource. Going

I was attempted to apply multiple @Pattern annotations to a single field: @Pattern(regexp = "(?=.*[0-9])", message = "Password must contain one digit.") @Pattern(regexp = "(?=.*[a-z])", message = "Password must contain one lowercase letter.") @Pattern(regexp = "(?=.*[A-Z])", message = "Password must contain one uppercase letter.") @Pattern(regexp = "(?=\S+$)", message = "Password must contain no whitespace.") private String password; However, I cannot do this. I want individual messages per violated regex constraint on the password field. Is this possible? My alternative is to use JSF 2.0 f

I'm trying to implement some custom validation logic for a spring boot endpoint using a combination of JSR-303 Bean Validation API and Spring's Validator . Based on the Validator class diagram it appears to be possible to extend one of CustomValidatorBean , SpringValidatorAdapter or LocalValidatorFactoryBean to add some custom validation logic into an overridden method validate(Object target, Errors errors) . . However, if I create a validator extending any of these three classes and register it using @InitBinder its validate(Object target, Errors errors) method is never invoked and no
