@Documented @Constraint(validatedBy=MustBeSmallerOrEqualValidator.class) @Target({TYPE,ANNOTATION_TYPE}) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface MustBeSmallerOrEqual
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 smaller or equal then entry of field2, can be used e.g. for date or number "from"/"to" fields.
