Customizing Java Validation Message on Size Annotation

2
votes

I have a simple entity class that represents a table in the DB. This class has two properties and I have a Size annotation on both of them as shown

public class ExecutionStepOption extends AbstractDomainObject implements Nameable {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 4249454967446069549L;

@NotNull
@Size(min = 1, max = 100)
@Column(name = "name")
private String name;

@NotNull
@Size(min = 1, max = 10)
@Column(name = "value")
private String value;

On the HTML side I have a form that has two textbox(s), which take the name and value. When the user enters a value more than 10 characters in size, I want to show a customized message like "Value is greater than 10 characters".

I tried this 

@NotNull
@Size(min = 1, max = 10, message = "Size cannot be greater than 10 Characters")
@Column(name = "value")
private String value;

But does not seem to work. I still get the ugly Java message 

Could not commit JPA transaction; nested exception is javax.persistence.RollbackException: Error while committing the transaction

javaspringvalidationsize
please include the entire exception trace. Also short the imports, for Size in particular. - BillFromHawaii
I just added it, it does seem like the stack trace has inside it the List of constraint violations:[ ConstraintViolationImpl{interpolatedMessage='Size cannot be greater than 10 Characters', propertyPath=value, rootBeanClass=class org.misoenergy.darr.domain.ExecutionStepOption, messageTemplate='Size cannot be greater than 10 Characters'} ] Problem is how to get the message onto the HTML/AngularJS side - user3799365
Is this a spring mvc app? If so show the controller class. Show the imports for your bean class so I can tell which @Size you're using. - BillFromHawaii

If you are using spring mvc you can keep what you're doing and add a contolleradvice something like this:

import org.springframework.http.HttpHeaders;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ControllerAdvice;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ExceptionHandler;
import org.springframework.web.context.request.WebRequest;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.ResponseEntityExceptionHandler;

import javax.validation.ConstraintViolationException;

@ControllerAdvice
public class RestResponseEntityExceptionHandler extends ResponseEntityExceptionHandler {

    @ExceptionHandler(value = { ConstraintViolationException.class})
    protected ResponseEntity<Object> handleNotAuthenticated(RuntimeException ex, WebRequest request) {

        // String message =  extract violation message from exception

        return handleExceptionInternal(ex, message, 
          new HttpHeaders(), HttpStatus.NOT_ACCEPTABLE, request);
    }

}

Add logic to extract your message from the exception and change the HttpStatus to the one you like. The message will be returned in your response body.

If you can put your constraints on your DTO you can use the @Valid annotation in your controller, like this:

@RequestMapping(value = "/stepoption", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String setOption(@Valid ExecutionStepOption  stepoption) {

        return "whatever";

}

Which will return the custom message.

I am using

@ExceptionHandler(value = { ConstraintViolationException.class})
    @ResponseBody 
    ResponseEntity<Object> handleNotAuthenticated(RuntimeException ex, WebRequest request) {
        return new ResponseEntity<Object>(new Basis(ex.getMessage()), HttpStatus.NOT_ACCEPTABLE);
    }

which is pretty similar to what @BillFromHawaii is using
