Hello
Is there any possibility to confirm that two fields have the same value ?


I need to make "create account" form with "password" and "confirm password".
I must use annotations, but I didn't find any appropriate.

Please tell me if there is any annotation which can do this or maybe how to make custom annotation which will do this.

Please remember that i'm begginer.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

i guess your best bet would be a custom class level constraint. Check the online documentation to see how to implement such a constraints - http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/ ... le/#d0e328

Using a class level constraint you will get passed the whole entity you are currently validating. If this entity constains a password and confirm password field you can just compare these two values.

Thanks for your answer!

Yes I made such solution, but unfortunately I don't know how to assign error to field, not to class. It's important because I use Annotated validator in Spring and errors are automatically assigned to html form fields.

Hi,

try using the ConstraintValidatorContext.
Something like this:

I works! Thanks a lot.

Btw. It didn't work in Spring 3.0.0RC1 (if someone would have problems with that), but it works in RC3
