Not sure if this possible. Wondering if I can create a custom constraint for a bean's field where it would use values of other field of the same class object. Tried writing the codes below -

Code:
public final class AWRRecordObject extends DoaAbstract implements java.io.Serializable {
   
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
   
    @ValidateApplicationType
    private String applicationType;
   
    private String recordData;

    private String programSource;

    Class<AWRRecordObject> value(); //?

...


Code:
public class ApplicationTypeValidator implements ConstraintValidator<ValidateApplicationType, AWRRecordObject> {

   private Class<AWRRecordObject> awrRecObj; // ?
      
   @Override
   public void initialize(ValidateApplicationType constraintAnnotation) {
      
      this.awrRecObj = constraintAnnotation.value();
   }

   @Override
   public boolean isValid(String arg0, ConstraintValidatorContext arg1) {
            
      
      // verify if the application type is A1 and length is 512   
      if ((awrRecObj.getApplicationType().equalsIgnoreCase(AWRConstant.AWR_W2))
            && (awrRecObj.getRecordData().toString().length() != AWRConstant.W2_RECORD_LEN)
            && (awrRecObj.getProgramSource().equalsIgnoreCase(AWRConstant.SOURCE_BATCH))) {
         
         // create AWRRequestError Object and add it to  AWRRecordObject
         AWRUtility.createAWRRequestErrorObject(awrRecObj, AWRErrorTypeCode.W2_RECORD_LENGTH_ERROR, awrRecObj.getRecordData());
         return false;
         ...
      }
      
      return true;
...
   }

Code:
@Target( { METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Constraint(validatedBy = {ApplicationTypeValidator.class})
public @interface ValidateApplicationType {

   String message() default "{com.myproject.validation.ApplicationType.message}";

    Class<?>[] groups() default {};

    Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};
   
    Class<AWRRecordObject> value();

}


The code that reads fixed length file and store parsed values into a bean -
Code:
public static AWRRecordObject bufferedReader() throws IOException {
      
   int lineCount = 0;
   long time1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
   File file = new File("D://TestData/test.txt");
   BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file), 8192);
        ValidatorFactory factory = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory();
        validator = factory.getValidator();
   String line;
   
   while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
         
      String type = line.length() > 2 ? line.substring(0, 2) : line;

      AWRRecordObject record = new AWRRecordObject(line, type, lineCount);

      Set<ConstraintViolation<AWRRecordObject>> constraintViolations = validator.validate(record);

               if (constraintViolations.size() > 0) {
               
                  Iterator it = constraintViolations.iterator();
                  while (it.hasNext()) {
                     ConstraintViolation<AWRRecordObject> cv = (ConstraintViolation<AWRRecordObject>) it.next();
                     System.out.println(cv.getInvalidValue());
                     System.out.println(cv.getMessage());
                  
                  
                  }

               }


            return record;
   }

...


Getting the error message -
Code:
Exception in thread "main" javax.validation.UnexpectedTypeException: No validator could be found for type: java.lang.String
   at org.hibernate.validator.engine.ConstraintTree.verifyResolveWasUnique(ConstraintTree.java:383)

Hello,
I don't know really what your problem has to do with accessing other fields (also referred to as cross-field validation, see https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/BVAL-240), but anyway I think the cause of the exception is that you didn't declare your ConstraintValidator implementation correctly:

Code:
public class ApplicationTypeValidator implements ConstraintValidator<ValidateApplicationType, AWRRecordObject>


should probably be:

Code:
public class ApplicationTypeValidator implements ConstraintValidator<ValidateApplicationType, String>


I wonder if your code actually compiles this way?

Hope that helps,
best regards,
vivian

PS: if you really have a cross-field validation issue, please vote on the issue https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/BVAL-240, so that we can get some improvements in this area. Thanks!
