Annotation Type CustomCollectionPostConversionValidation

@Documented @Inherited @Target(FIELD) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface CustomCollectionPostConversionValidation

Defines custom validation of a collection of converted values and error message to display if this fails. The custom validator must implement CollectionPostConversionValidator, preferably extending AbstractCustomCollectionPostConversionValidatorSupport, and have a default public constructor.

By default, messages are written as Action error messages for form processing Actions and logged as warnings for viewer Actions but this can be overridden by messageType. For viewer Actions, it's recommended they implement LoggingAware and set a logging message type.

Message Types
DEFAULT Uses default setting of controlling interceptor or library, which is usually Action error messages for form processing Actions and logged as warnings for view ActionsMessage. Default.
ERROR Message added to Action level error messages.
FIELD Message added to field error messages using same name as field.
IGNORE Message is not shown to user or logged. This is not recommended.
LOG_DEBUG Logged to Action's Log4j2 logger (or controlling interceptor's if not available) at DEBUG level.
LOG_ERROR Logged to Action's Log4j2 logger (or controlling interceptor's if not available) at ERROR level.
LOG_INFO Logged to Action's Log4j2 logger (or controlling interceptor's if not available) at INFO level.
LOG_TRACE Logged to Action's Log4j2 logger (or controlling interceptor's if not available) at TRACE level.
LOG_WARN Logged to Action's Log4j2 logger (or controlling interceptor's if not available) at WARN level.
MESSAGE Message added to Action level info messages.
WARNING Message added to Action level warning messages.
