Hello, Let's say that I want to use the same POJO with 3 fields (field1, field2, field3) for 2 REST calls. For the first REST call, I want to check that one of the 3 fields are not null and the 2 other ones are null. For the second REST call, I want to check that at least one of the 3 fields is not null. In order to achieve that, my understanding is that I have to use class level constraint, right ?
But, how to achieve that with Java Bean Validation 1.1 using only annotation ? Thanks to some reading, I was thinking about using Java Bean Validation group feature but what I don't get is that I can't use something like @Valid(group="mygroup1") for the first REST call and @Valid(group="mygroup2") for the second REST call! But programmatically, I can perform the following operations: validator.validate(myobject, "mygroup1") and validator.validate(myobject, "mygroup2"), right ? Could someone help me to solve this issue ?
