Hi,

Just wondering how to create multiple identical class level constraints? I find myself writing class level constraints when the value of one property depends on another. E.g.
XLowerThanY
XMustExcludeY
XBeforeY
etc

However, when I need to do multiple XLowerThanY, there doesn't seem an option to do something like this
@constraints{
@XLowerThanY(x="productId",y="productType"),
@XLowerThanY(x="otherId",y="otherType"),
}

or is there?

Marc

The recommended way of dealing with this is to have an inner List definition in your constraint:

Code:
@Target({ METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE, CONSTRUCTOR, PARAMETER })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Constraint(validatedBy = {})
public @interface XLowerThanY {
...
   @Target({ METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE, CONSTRUCTOR, PARAMETER })
   @Retention(RUNTIME)
   @Documented
   @interface List {
      XLowerThanY[] value();
   }
}


In this scenario you can then use @XLowerThanY.List({...}) to specify multiple XLowerThanY constraints.
