hi All,
The situation is a bit difficult to describe both I have a use case where I
would like to create a custom validation annotation where I need to define a
non empty groups attribute
something like this
*@Target(value = { ElementType.FIELD})
@Retention(value = RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Constraint(validatedBy = { EqualsValidator.class })
public @interface Equals
{
String message() default "{duplicated_content_required}";
Class<?>[] groups() default {CrossValidationGroup.class};
Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};
String[] value();
}
*
But as expected, I get a error when I try to use the annotation:
Default value for groups() must be an empty array
But I want to avoid that the user needs to define it always when he uses the
annotation.
* @Equals(value = "caseSensitiveTarget", groups =
CrossValidationGroup.class)
private String caseSensitiveSource;*
Any idea or direction I need to look into are apreciated.
Regards
