Cross field validation with Hibernate Validator (JSR 303)

Question

Is there an implementation of (or third-party implementation for) cross field validation in Hibernate Validator 4.x? If not, what is the cleanest way to implement a cross fi

Answer 1

I suggest you another possible solution. Perhaps less elegant, but easier!

public class MyBean {
  @Size(min=6, max=50)
  private String pass;

  private String passVerify;

  @AssertTrue(message="passVerify field should be equal than pass field")
  private boolean isValid() {
    return this.pass.equals(this.passVerify);
  }
}

The isValid method is invoked by the validator automatically.
