[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (BVAL-202) Apply constraints on the elements of an iterator

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-202?page=c... ] Gunnar Morling commented on BVAL-202: ------------------------------------- It would compile, if there was a dedicated @ValidateEach annotation for each constraint, as with @List today: {noformat} public @interface Size { String message() default "{javax.validation.constraints.Size.message}"; Class<?>[] groups() default {}; Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {}; int min() default 0; int max() default Integer.MAX_VALUE; @interface List { Size[] value(); } @interface ValidateEach { Size[] value(); } } {noformat} This would read pretty good as long as only one @ValidateEach is imported. Also list semantics are covered: {noformat} @NotNull @Size(max=30) @ValidateEach({@Size(max=30), @Size(max=40, groups=Admin.class) }) Collection<String> emails; {noformat} It reads slightly worse but still ok when multiple @ValidateEach are required: {noformat} @NotNull @Size(max=30) @Size.ValidateEach({@Size(max=30), @Size(max=40, groups=Admin.class) }) @Email.ValidateEach(@Email) Collection<String> emails; {noformat} So basically this is similar to #4 without having all attributes from the original constraint again in the sub-annotation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
