How to map all values of an enum to constant expression?

Question

I want to add all available values of an enum to a hibernate validation message. But I can't, as it expects a constant expression.

@NotNull(message = "Allowed values: " + MyEnum.values());

Result error:

The value for annotation attribute NotNull.message must be a constant expression

How can this be done?

You can not, but you can create a custom constraint to validate against MyEnum values. — vzamanillo, Nov 03 '14 at 16:24

Basically a compile-time constant expressions needs to be passed to message. See also JSL section.
