Hi,

I have the following bean "Test" with cascaded validation to 2 objects of type "Info"

Code:

public class Test {
  .........
  @Valid
  Info creditInfo;
  @Valid
  Info debitInfo
  .............
}
public class Info {
  @CheckAccount(message="Account is invalid")
  String account;
  @CheckCustomer
  String customer(message="Customer is invalid")
  ................
}

I want my messages for constraints on "Info" to also be able to display whether it was "Credit" or "Debit" related.

How can I pass that information from top level bean to the embedded bean?
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Top

Hi,

unfortunately, there is not simple solution for your problem. Bean Validation cannot know that you are using the Info class in multiple contexts.

Thanks for the reply.

It would be useful to have a payload for @Valid and that being propagated to the immediate cascaded object.

The only solution that I can think of is to have a custom constraint at class level ("Info"). But, I will have to code for all the validations on the properties of Info within this custom validator. I will lose the ability to externalize the constraints in an xml file or annotations.
