I have two variables in my bean and I want either name or mobile to be filled, they cant be both null at the same time.
@NotNull
private String name;
@NotNull
private String mobile;
How can I achieve that?
You need to write a custom annotation for this and use on class
@AtLeastOneNotEmpty(fields = {"name", "phone"})
public class User{
Custom Annotation Implementation
@Constraint(validatedBy = AtLeastOneNotEmptyValidator.class)
@Target({ElementType.TYPE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface AtLeastOneNotEmpty {
String message() default "At least one cannot be null";
String[] fields();
Class<?>[] groups() default {};
Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};
}
And Validator of Custom Annotation
public class AtLeastOneNotEmptyValidator
implements ConstraintValidator<AtLeastOneNotEmpty, Object> {
private String[] fields;
public void initialize(AtLeastOneNotEmpty constraintAnnotation) {
this.fields = constraintAnnotation.fields();
}
public boolean isValid(Object value, ConstraintValidatorContext context) {
List<String> fieldValues = new ArrayList<String>();
for (String field : fields) {
Object propertyValue = new BeanWrapperImpl(value).getPropertyValue(field);
if (ObjectUtils.isEmpty(propertyValue)) {
fieldValues.add(null);
} else {
fieldValues.add(propertyValue.toString());
}
}
return fieldValues.stream().anyMatch(fieldValue -> fieldValue!= null);
}
}
you can create your own validation or annotation try like this :
@Target({ElementType.TYPE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface NotNullConfirmed {
String message() default "they can not be null";
Class<?>[] groups() default {};
Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};
}
and class that implement it:
public class FieldConfirmedValidator implements ConstraintValidator<NotNullConfirmed, Object>{
@Override
public boolean isValid(Object user, ConstraintValidatorContext context) {
String name = ((Your_bo)user).getName();
String phone = ((Your_bo)user).getPhone();
return !name.isEmpty() && !phone.isEmpty();
}
}
and add this annotation to your class
@NotNullConfirmed
public class User{
}
