Annotation Type ConstraintSource

@Target(value={TYPE,FIELD,METHOD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface ConstraintSource

Allows to annotate e.g. DTOs and point to a class which provides the meta-data which should be used for validation. It allows to follow the DRY principle in case of multiple classes which represent the same parts of a data-structure. If needed, this annotation can be replaced by a customer defined one if one likes to have independence of ExtVal in model classes - see ExtValCoreConfiguration.constraintSourceAnnotation().
