Hi.

I would like to know if is possible to access the object instance of the bean that contains the value attribute you are validating.

Example:



I whant to do a validator that checks that 'endDate' is after 'initDate', so in the validator of 'endDate' I need access the 'Issue' instance.

Is this possible?
How?

(I see in the source code that validator framework know the object instance, but I don't know if I can access to it from my validator class)


Thanks a lot

Hi,

in this case you should probably write a bean level validator. Have a look at the online documentation.

There is also an example in the test cases for validator using the classes
Vase, SerializabilityValidator and Serializability.

Ok, thanks

It's just what I need.

It's true it is in the documentation, in section 1.4: "you can write a Bean level validation annotation". But I didn's see ooops :S

Sorry for my silly question :P
