+<div class="block">Allows annotations to be defined that restrict property values. The
+ annotation is just a pointer to a constraint checking class. If the
+ constraint class is not explicitly provided, it defaults to a static inner
+ class named "Constraint" in the annotation itself.
+
+ <p>The constraint class must have a public constructor that accepts the
+ annotation that has the ConstraintDefinition annotation. It must also define
+ several "constrain" methods which perform constraint checks on specific
+ property types.
+ <p>
+ Example integer constraint:
+ <pre>
+ &#64;Documented
+ <b>&#64;Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)</b>
+ <b>&#64;Target(ElementType.METHOD)</b>
+ <b>&#64;ConstraintDefinition</b>
+ public &#64;interface IntegerConstraint {
+ int min() default Integer.MIN_VALUE;
+
+ int max() default Integer.MAX_VALUE;
+
+ public static class Constraint {
+ private final String propertyName;
+ private final int min;
+ private final int max;
+
+ // Constructor may throw a MalformedTypeException if
+ // params supplied by annotation are illegal.
+
+ /**
+ * @param type optional type of object that contains the constrained property
+ * @param propertyName name of property with constraint
+ * @param annotation specific annotation that binds to this constraint class
+ *&#47;
+ public Constraint(Class type, String propertyName, IntegerConstraint annotation) {
+ this.propertyName = propertyName;
+ this.min = annotation.min();
+ this.max = annotation.max();
+ }
+
+ // Define a constrain method for each supported property type.
+
+ /**
+ * @param propertyValue specific value to constrain
+ *&#47;
+ public void constrain(int propertyValue) throws IllegalArgumentException {
+ if (propertyValue < min || propertyValue > max) {
+ throw new IllegalArgumentException
+ ("Value for \"" + propertyName + "\" must be in range " +
+ min + ".." + max + ": " + propertyValue);
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ </pre>
+
+ The newly defined integer constraint can be applied to property mutators.
