NotFuture/NotInFuture = past + now (past inclusive) NotPast/NotInPast = future + now (future inclusive) Or perhaps a general modifying annotation, that can be applied to everything to invert the matching logic: @Not Inverts the matching logic on this element. @Not @Past @Not @Pattern("TRUE|FALSE") // hard to write without the @Not --John _______________________________________________ beanvalidation-dev mailing list beanvalidation-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/beanvalidation-dev
