@Email works for a set of email addresses?

From the documentation, the @Email only works for a single email address. If that is true, what is recommended approach for multiple email addresses validation?

Hi,

yep, @Email works only for elements of type String, not for Collection<String> etc. We're discussing how constraints could be applied to the elements of collections, have a look here:

but so far there is nothing implemented yet. I'd suggest to create a new type EMailAddress and validate collections of this using @Valid as described here:

Thanks Gunar for your information.

I have a Java bean form mapped to a form directly. Since an input field can't directly mapping to a List type, I need to create another form bean instead. In the other words, I need to have other two Java class to solve this problem.
