Annotation Type PropertyValidator

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={FIELD,METHOD})
@ValidatorClass(value=PropertyValidatorValidator.class)
public @interface PropertyValidator

The validator execute validation logic on the value assigned to the property just before storing.

Applies to properties.

Example:

  @PropertyValidator(UnitPriceValidator.class)
  private BigDecimal unitPrice;
 

PropertyValidator is also implemented as a Hibernate validation, therefore it's executed when you save using JPA or Hibernate API, with the exception of onlyOnCreate=true, in this last case the validation is only applied when you save with OpenXava (using MapFacade or standard OX actions).
