How can I set a bean validation constraint that a List
should at minimum contain 1 and at maximum contain 10 elements?
None of the following works:
@Min(1)
@Max(10)
@Size(min=1, max=10)
private List<String> list;
I created simple class:
public class Mock {
@Size(min=1, max=3)
private List<String> strings;
public List<String> getStrings() {
return strings;
}
public void set(List<String> strings) {
this.strings = strings;
}
}
And test:
Mock mock = new Mock();
mock.setStrings(Collections.emptyList());
final Set<ConstraintViolation<Mock>> violations1 = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory().getValidator().validate(mock);
assertFalse(violations1.isEmpty());
mock.setStrings(Arrays.asList("A", "B", "C", "D"));
final Set<ConstraintViolation<Mock>> violations2 = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory().getValidator().validate(mock);
assertFalse(violations2.isEmpty());
It seems that @Size
annotation is working well. It comes from javax.validation.constraints.Size
