             Project: Bean Validation
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: spec-general
    Affects Versions: 1.0 final
         Environment: Hibernate Validator 4.0.0.GA

Hi, may I suggest to enhance @DecimalMin/@DecimalMax constraints with additional 'exclusive' boolean attribute? This would allow to define a constraints like:

a positive non-zero decimal number
@DecimalMin(value = "0.0", exclusive = true)

a negative non-zero decimal number
@DecimalMax(value = "0.0", exclusive = true)

This makes sense when dealing with decimal numbers where one might want to allow a number regardless of the precision.
@DecimalMin("0.0001") vs. @DecimalMin("0.000000001"), etc.

To maintain backward compatibility, default value for new 'exclusive' boolean attribute should be false.
