Annotation Type MinValue

@Target(value={METHOD,FIELD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface MinValue

Checks if annotated method returns a value with given minimum value. Can be annotated on methods returning:

• java.lang.Byte
• java.lang.Short
• java.lang.Integer
• java.lang.Long
• java.lang.Float
• java.lang.Double

The equivalent primitives of given list are valid too. Use value() to set.

Also supports:

• java.math.BigInteger
• java.math.BigDecimal

However you must use the bigValue() property in that case.

Optional Element Summary

java.lang.String[]	applyToGroups Specify for which groups this annotation must be applied.
java.lang.String	bigValue Set the minimum value for BigInteger / BigDecimal.
java.lang.String	customCodeMinValue Optional custom code (property from a properties file) if the minvalue is violated.
java.lang.String	customCodeNotNumeric Optional custom code (property from a properties file) if the not numeric is violated.
boolean	globalMessage If this annotation's message must be added as global message instead of real validation path.
double	value The minimum value the method annotated should return.

value

public abstract double value

The minimum value the method annotated should return. This property must be used for all primitive types.

Defaults to nothing (0.0 by java specs).

Default:

0.0

bigValue

public abstract java.lang.String bigValue

Set the minimum value for BigInteger / BigDecimal. Defaults to an empty String.

Default:

""

applyToGroups

public abstract java.lang.String[] applyToGroups

Specify for which groups this annotation must be applied. By default if you annotate without this variable, the annotation is applied for any group on that method (which is what you usually want). However by specifying the exact groups you can turn on/off a validation on a method depending on the group you validate. Defaults to JvGroup.GROUP_APPLY_ALL

Default:

"_all_"

customCodeMinValue

public abstract java.lang.String customCodeMinValue

Optional custom code (property from a properties file) if the minvalue is violated. If set, this one is used instead of the default one specified in MessageCodes for annotated method.

This way you can override the default message if needed.

Default:

""

customCodeNotNumeric

public abstract java.lang.String customCodeNotNumeric

Optional custom code (property from a properties file) if the not numeric is violated. If set, this one is used instead of the default one specified in MessageCodes for annotated method.

This way you can override the default message if needed.

Default:

""

globalMessage

public abstract boolean globalMessage

If this annotation's message must be added as global message instead of real validation path. Defaults to false (thus will be added with validation path if invalid).

Default:

false
