Hi!

Are validators like @Digits only for required fields? I can't find anything in the documentation to prevent this validators to bring up error messages on empty fields...

Thank you very much in advance!

what do you mean by a "required field"?

A mandatory, required input field (fields that the user must enter).

With mandatory fields the validators work (because an empty @Digit field would be wrong, so it should be validated), but with optional fields @Digit validates the empty field and displays an error, that it is no valid digit (but it is valid, because it is empty).

What I miss is something like @Digit(..., allowEmpty = true) - which should be the default because a mandatory/required field will have a @NotEmpty or @NotNull...

Am I blind?
