Bean Validation for @Past or today?

Question

Here's a simple source, stating that this date must be in the past using Bean Validation :

@Past
private Date transactionDate;

Is there any BV annotation for validating that the date must be today or previous day?

Or perhaps I need to extend the constraint and provide my own?

Just found out the answer for this, @Past means today or any day before today.

So, using @Past suits my need without having to provide my own constraint.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Or at least it's not true anymore. You have to use `@PastOrPresent` instead. – bagage Aug 22 '18 at 12:38
using @Past does not work for GET requests in Spring, any other methods for validating Date passed in a GET Method request – DaviesTobi alex Dec 23 '20 at 09:15
