Emmanuel Bernard commented on ANN-423:
--------------------------------------

null cannot be set on an annotation but you can always write a BigMin and BigMax annotation and validator to handle your needs I guess

> MinValidator supports properties of type BigInteger and BigDecimal by coding against Number.longValue(). However, in BigInteger and BigDecimal, longValue() returns the lower 64 bits, which can flip the apparent sign for a BigInteger > Long.MAX_VALUE or < Long.MIN_VALUE. In these cases, @Min or @Max validation (respectively) will fail.
