In my Spring Application, i'm Using Hibernate Validator for Validation Purpose.

When i'm doing simple Validation like @NotEmpty, @Email .. i'm easily working

But When coming to Date field, giving Problem...

Problem is in my Jsp page i'm getting values type as String then i'm convert String to Date..

Hear is my Example...

@NotEmpty(message = "Write Some Description")
private String description;

private String fromDateMonth;

private String fromDateYear;

private String toDateMonth;

private String toDateYear;

i'm converting this fromDateMonth and fromDateYear into Date in this my Controller class.

So is their any Possibility to add Validator Annotation in Controller class?

Other wise what should i'm do hear? give me suggestions...

If you want to validate that fromDate is before toDate, you can write a custom validator to perform this multi-field validation. You write a custom validator, and you also define a custom annotation which is placed on the bean being validated.
