I was referring to:
Java Bean Validation: GroupSequence with Class-Level Constraint
This works fine for simple classes. But I am working on something as follows:
Class A (validated by AValidator) has a member Class B (validated by BValidator)
has a member Class C(validated by Cvalidator) as well as some primitive members like Strings.
Ideally I would like the string members of Class C to be validated first followed by CValidator followed by BValidator followed by AValidator.
Note: All the classes follow association, they do not have a parent child relationship.
Here is how the code looks like:
@AType
public class A{
B bmember1;
B bmember2;
}
@Constraint(validatedBy = AValidator.class)
public @interface AType{
//some code
}
@BType
public class B{
C cmember1;
}
@Constraint(validatedBy = BValidator.class)
public @interface BType{
//some code
}
@CType
public class C{
@strvalid
String someString;
}
@Constraint(validatedBy = CValidator.class)
public @interface CType{
//some code
}
So ideally I would want the following execution sequence:
strValid followed by Cvalidator followed by BValidator followed by AValidator (basically member validations to run before class validations and this rule being applied recursively)
Really appreciate your help.
