Annotation Type MustBeBigger

@Documented @Constraint(validatedBy=MustBeBiggerValidator.class) @Target({TYPE,ANNOTATION_TYPE}) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface MustBeBigger
The annotated bean must contain at least two properties:
  • a field to compare (option field1)
  • another field to compared (option field2)
  • add the error to field1 (option addErrorToField1, default true)
  • add the error to field2 (option addErrorToField2, default false)
the entry of field1 must be bigger then entry of field2, can be used e.g. for date or number "from"/"to" fields.
Supported types are beans, null elements are considered valid.
The fields must implement Comparable!
