Hello,

i have written a custom annotion (Validator) for validating an input value of a field. The problem is, that i need access to the entity itself (or to other fields of the entity) inside the Validator (in the isValid() method).

Because parameters of an annotation are not dynamic, i have no idea how to solve this problem.

Any idea ?

Thanks
Sebastian

Hi,

you could write a entity level validator instead. In this case you would get the whole entity passed into isValid().
