Hello,

I have a custom Constraint Annotation (@Custom) applied to a field defined in a standard class "MyBean".

public class MyBean{
@Custom
private string var;
}

In the associated

CustomValidator class implements ConstraintValidator<Custom, Object>

the

public boolean isValid(String object, ConstraintValidatorContext constraintContext)

method, is it possible to determine the base class (i.e. MyBean) of the object "var" for use in the validation?

Thanks for any help

If you have ConstraintValidator<Custom, Object> it really should be





Do you really mean base class or the containing/owning class of the validated value. If it is the latter you are after the answer is no. If you need access to MyBean you would need a class level validator.
