Annotation Type ImmutableValidator
-
@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(METHOD) public @interface ImmutableValidator
Annotation defining which method is to be used to validate the bean when code generating immutable beans.Each property in a bean can be independently validated. This annotation allows properties to be cross-checked at the end of the constructor.
The method must be a private void instance method and take no arguments. Private is necessary as it is called from the constructor. For example:
@ImmutableValidator private void validate() { if (age != null && age < 0) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Age must not be negative if specified") } }
